You'll look sweet upon the seat...
Laura and I have often talked about taking a bicycle built for two (b42) for a spin. As a bit of a surprise, we
rented a "KHS Alite tandem" and took it for a
spin down to the arboretum for a picnic lunch. I've learned a couple of things:
- a b42 will either strengthen a relationship, or end it
- it's much harder than it looks
- they don't turn so well... hard to avoid people along the busy canal
- when the road is open, you can really motor along
- communication is key - I felt like I was on a ship from the old movies "engine ahead full!", "hard to port!!!", "tourist, dead ahead!"
- I glad we rented it and I had a lot of fun, but I don't think that I'll be looking to invest in one
