Autistic stoker.

Hi. I usually hang at the commuter board but thought I'd see what goes on here. The happy tandem pix are just great. My sister is my stoker and she IS autistic. (And you thought YOUR stoker was a problem. She enjoys it though. Esp. if going to breakfast is part of the trip. My wife has COPD and really can't hang. But the bike was bought just for my sis. Usually we ride under 10 miles. But we ride to several parks on the Delaware River. Very nice. Two problems. She screeches very loudly when startled or frightened, and since she learned to ride on a one speed Schwinn with a BENDIX brake, she tries to stop us by peddaling BACKWARDS. She does it LESS, now. Still it's good for her, and she needs the exercise. She turns 50 on Oct. 31. That birth date is probably NO coincidence.
