Hello Tandemists,

 

Can any of you help Keith & Kathy locate a tandem to test ride to see if they like the experience? 

It's obvious that Keith has the requisite experience to captain on the road, and that they're not going to get a proper feel for tandeming on a clunker if they ride those kind of distances -- and from that it sounds like they fit nicely into our club profile!

 

Thanks in advance,

Tony

Keith has been riding for 30 years and is 6'2". I have been riding for 2.5 years and am 5'5". we typically ride between 30-40 miles.

Thanks!
Kathy

Hi Kathy,

 

So I'm asking ... (fitting a tandem is like trying to find two pair of shoes to fit a couple -- see below)

Ask 'em!

S--

What are their heights, and does the Captain have enough single riding experience already?

We could poll the club if we have that info to see if any fit and can be lent out. 

 

When and what kind/distance of ride were they thinking of doing?  We might be able to accompany them and help with the learning curve.  I could go out on my single if you're too busy.

Sarah~

None of the places on your web site rent tandems. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks
