We're well on our tandem way! We're fortunate to have a fantastic, friendly Tuesday group ride with no shortage of cameras. This was our 10th tandem ride and we're on an 18% grade hill and passing single bikes! Tandem + 2 climbers = fast tandem climbing! Loving our machine.

Here's a couple pics of us on our new Co-motion Carrera, replacing our 1980's Burely. Wow, what an improvement!
This route takes us on a ferry where our tandem saves us money! They charge per bicycle instead of per bicyclist. What an excellent reason to take out the tandem.

^^^ clean, shiny. Purrrdy. Your cycling position/bike fit looks quite good too 
From the ferry photo, the stoker saddle might be a touch tilted upward compared to captain's. My stoker would hate me for that. If you do go alter the angle to more horizontal, her position over the pedals might change a bit too, so recheck that (plumb bob from just below the kneecap to pedal spindle is a standard).

Got to proofread my stuff before hitting the send button!
Perhaps my advancing age (only 82) and that English was my fifth language . . . I can be excused?
Pedal on!

Thanks, CoMotionRider. I think there might be some trolling going on.
FYI, Bad1, my avatar is at the finish of the Mt Washingtion hillclimb. 12% average grade, 45mph winds.
We're still kicking "single" butt. Soooooo much fun!!
Loving, loving tandeming!

Can't really see how happy or not we were. (Very happy to be able to get in a ride on December 14. Last tandem ride in 2013 was mid-November.)

12-13-14. Second Annual Holiday Lights Ride in Arlington Heights, Illinois. 10 tandems and 7 singles. Chicago Area Tandem Society and Arlington Heights Bicycle Club. What a fun way to enjoy the decorations throughout the town! We received many cheerful greetings form pedestrians and happy honks from drivers. Happy New Year All.
