The snow on the grass has melted; I may not need snowshoes after all.

It's too flat here to get that kind of speed. I'd probably be panic braking too much to get over 40.

Why is VV doing this? Simply to make fun of pcad and/or be obnoxious?

LesterOfPuppets 03-25-13 10:01 AM

Maybe we should all do it.
 
Naww, just kidding.

WhyFi 03-25-13 10:02 AM

Pew pew pew

Do what?

You know what really sucks?
 
Shopping for tandems on craigslist. Search always returns more of those damn Trail-A-Bikes than actual tandems.

Would your riding partner not be happy on the trail-a-bike?

LesterOfPuppets 03-25-13 10:21 AM

Hahaha!

That's something I've not considered. She is a rank amateur cyclist. Maybe I should grab one of those to see if she's not scared to death by my piloting her around town on a bike.

Bummed I missed out on a recent Burley but maybe I can talk this guy down to $400 for his Moto...

i've only had one experience on a tandem, many years ago, and thought it was much harder to do than just riding a bike solo. is that really a good idea for a beginner? maybe pick someplace like a park with no sharp turns to try it out first?

it's the "pilot her around town" part that makes me nervous for the both of you.

LesterOfPuppets 03-25-13 10:33 AM

Glad I clicked on some Trail-a-Bike ads!
 
If I hadn't I still wouldn't have known that they made doubles!

Making fun of pcad is sport and is necessary in order to elicit his funny and insightful quips and retorts.

LesterOfPuppets 03-25-13 10:36 AM

Blind people stoke tandems, maybe not seeing makes it easier :)

I've ridden solo on a tandem quite a bit. I just likened it to driving a VW hippy van and ceased clipping curbs pretty quickly.

I know it's not un-possible, just maybe start her off easy.

RUOkie 03-25-13 10:51 AM

If you're building it yourself, go with Race. You'll have less wind-up to deal with and the build will go easier.
