Yeah, those are ridiculous.. and they can actually trackstand on 'em. Incredible speeds they can achieve as well.
|

I would not want to be the homie on the back. The guy on the front just looks obtrusive.
|
how do they decide who goes in front and who goes in back?
im really curious... really... |
at the paralympics in the case of sight impared cycling its generally the visually impaired rider at the back otherwise its the brown noser
|
next alleykat event = highest tandem bunnyhop

I've been obsessed with tandem track bikes for ages! We have one of those in the bike room at the velodrome and a friend and I are planning on learning how to ride it. :-D

I totally want to see people ride backwards circles, or better yet, pop wheelies, on one of those. Fixed tandem tricks are the future....
|
Deep Vs.....
And here is no chance in hell you could wheelie one of those. The balance point would be near vertical. |
How it's done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml4HN3B51kc

THAT WAS AWESOME.. the tandem track stand.. pretty cool for a incomplete run. they need to bring it back to the Olympics. |
Incidentally, one of the age-old questions of BFSSFG has been settled!
Ex-forum member ella has (access to) a track tandem here in Bp and a couple of friends of hers rode it on the streets... sped up too much... tried to skid to stop in time... turned the front wheel too far accidentally when the skid didn't really happen... and flipped the damn thing! So there you have it: you can flip a tandem :D |

That just might be the best thing ever.

I'm still waiting for tandem mountain biking, tandem slalom bmx, tandem downhill racing, that sort of thing.

I need to find someone to go on one with. |
I think tandem cyclocross would be pretty sweet... syncronized dismounts/remounts? SWEET!
