One year later - a new year - and time to update the team weight. New team weight is 280, down from 290. :) Both captain and stoker contributed to the loss. Let's hope this 3.5% loss in weight increases our speed exponentially. BTW, the tandem weighs the same. ;)

Stoker 5-6 120lbs, Captain 5-11 157lbs, Bike probably ~40lb

Only our bike didn't contribute with any weight loss... :p

Captain 5'8" 155lbs
Stoker 5'5" 115lbs
bike(s)
old bike ~42lbs
new bike TBD 28-30lbs

Well seeing how we are picking our "new to us" tandem up on Saturday and it is going to be snowing...

Cap'n 6'-2" 200# (holiday caught up to me, normal fighting weight is around 185-190)
Stoker 5'-.9999" moon weight unknown;)
Bike- Who knows? it is a Raleigh Companion, but can't weigh as much more than my Raleigh Superbe or my Worksman bike at work.

We are Newbies and will start our tandem activities maybe next month after delivery of the C'dale Road Tandem...

Captain: 6'9" and 115kg
Stoker: 6'2" and 73kg (I'm authorized to give the values...)

Team weight is 270 but it's -13 degrees F and the tandem's not going anywhere!

Captain=205 out of shape and working on it...
Stoker= 145 is working on it....
Bike= 47 Old Santana......that's without bottles or a pump and seat bag
total= 397 OUCH!!!
I (captain) was sick for about a year with cancer and put on some pounds after the surgery and treatments.....I was 220 on Thanksgiving day and will be at 118 or less by my birthday in April.
We also have a Co-Motion Macchiato on order that will weigh about 25is.....

I meant 185 not 118!!!!

Captain at 6'3" and 220 pounds; stoker-wife at 5'4" and 149.9999 pounds. We have a Cannondale but don't know the weight.

Andy

at 6'3" 230 (fit at 44) I never had the physique of a cyclist but that never stopped me. Stoker 5'8" 120.

Me 220lb, stoker 130lb, bike, unloaded 37lb. If only I could get back to my teenage "fighting weight" of 189lb, but time is running out.

Captain 511"-185, Stoker 5'3'- 120.....seasoned C'dale road tandem is currently at 40 pounds ...the only one loosing weight in this combo is the bike! As part of my winter fun project, I have it down from 43 pounds in November and heading for 37 or 38 by spring. Working on the bike's weight is a whole lot more fun than working on the other two jokers in the trio.

Captian 5'11" ~195, Stoker 5'4" 127lbs, Trek road tandem 34lbs. Total 356...and working on it.

Team 425 lb - Captain 6'5" Stoker 5'4" bike 45 - looking at new tandems.... & wieght loss

From a survey of 252 tandem teams conducted a couple years back... see the attached image.

You can find an entire collection of survey results pertaining to a variety of tandem-related topics at this URL: http://www.thetandemlink.com/surveys/surveycentral.html

We're one big gear mashing team. I'm 6'1 and my wife is 5'10 with a team weight just over 380. The bike is a Comotion Speedster with the weight unknown. We are everyone's favorite draft. We live in Florida so we don't have to contend with huge climbs. During the summer on a club ride we averaged just over 24 mph for a 50 mile loop. We had a lot of friends that day. We also completed our first tandem century this summer with a time of less than 5 hours. My daughter is 5'6 and doesn't put out the watts but she loves being able to ride with the 16 mph group.

Captain ~ 200 lbs
Stoker ~ 120 lbs

Captain: 150lbs
Stoker: 105lbs
mountain tandem: 40lbs

total: 295lbs

captain could lose 10lbs
