They're not cheap, so take time to make sure you're both happy with all aspects of the experience. Bike fit, speed on hills and in traffic, shared cadence. I scream like a wimp as a stoker, but my wife likes reading the map, enjoying the countryside and issuing directions in whatever the local language is. She has never told me to slow down. :-) | |

But that won't solve the problem that she'd really rather take it slower, and it also won't help if you are somewhere electric bikes are limited to 15mph/25kph, and Ken wants to go faster. (My wife and I have a tandem. Or will have, at the moment it's a stripped tandem frame waiting for a respray and rebuild with new components. And yes, this will potentially cause unhappiness in its own ways if I don't get it done soon....) | |
