Tips needed on our how to stand

Howdi to all

This is an awesome site. I have spent hours getting huge amounts of valuable info. I bought a tandem about 8 months ago and I love it. I use it on club rides over the weekend but also to “race” (hence calling her the555 EXPRESS) at PPA funrides www.pedalpower.org.za, have just competed the Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour (ACT)on 13 March, www.capecycle.co.za which is 109 km long and attended by about 35 000 people. The ACT is the biggest attendance race in the world and is a highlight on the South African racing/funride calendar.

My biggest problem with tandeming is how stand properly while riding hard up a hill. My stoker and I have tried it a few times but every time we do it, we tend to swerve to one side and almost end up buying a piece of real estate.

Please send some tips.

Cheers,
mdk and the 555 EXPRESS
