It has been a nice equalizer in regard to speed, and it has definitely had (me in particularly) pushing boundaries as far as what/where I'd normally ride. Which is great. <br /><br />Folding bikes are always fascinating to me. I'll be curious to read about your adventures with it and how it broadens your scope of riding. Looking forward to hearing all about it! :)G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-78806381908155163992017-12-30T08:45:34.100-07:002017-12-30T08:45:34.100-07:00What I understand about your tandem thoughts is th...What I understand about your tandem thoughts is that not only is the bike a speed equalizer but the bicycle has made you broaden your cycling horizons. That, my dear, is brilliant! Go Sam! It's the way I'm approaching my folding bike and the opportunities for travel that it opens up. anniebikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737989268380822651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-72908614854125656432017-12-29T07:32:44.152-07:002017-12-29T07:32:44.152-07:00Rebecca,

It's wonderful to have such a resource available! I've found a couple of others that have been useful for various topics as well, but I appreciate that Pamela took so much time to provide information to tandem riders. I think it's especially useful as she's G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-67230157637098208772017-12-29T03:49:02.828-07:002017-12-29T03:49:02.828-07:00"Wherever your relationship is going, (good o..."Wherever your relationship is going, (good or bad), it will get their faster riding a tandem." - Absolutely true!<br /><br />Your tandem is awesome and so are you & Sam as a tandem team.

We experienced a similar problem when riding together, so it's been a nice way to be able to stay together without having to worry about where the other is.<br /><br />I've been told similar thoughts regarding tandems. Some believe they lead to divorce, others think, as this tandem rider you encountered stated, that the G.E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02748009691282638366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948910318159742024.post-19990089606925662642017-12-28T19:24:58.644-07:002017-12-28T19:24:58.644-07:00::laughing:: I think your response is perfect!

I think they just get really focused on going fast sometimes. Perhaps it's that the majority are roadies that sometimes ride on dirt or gravel, rather than mountain bikers stepping back a bit?

And, yes, from time-to-time, even on a bike you love, you’re going to have a less-than-ideal ride. I hope your tailbone issues resolve themselves. That can be a real PITA.
