*Taking notes* !! (from Geoff too in the other branch of this thread -
some more design ideas would be good.)

In no particular order:

Have asked Hot Designs for a template drawing for the jersey, so we can
design around a zip.

Someone from there sent me another email saying they'd attached a kids
sizes chart, but forgot to attach it. Chasing that up too. Also asked
for a sample.

A good quote would be a great idea.. (good link that!)... just hard to
find one short and succinct enough. (Susan Anthony's quote reminds me
of the feminist view that I've picked up around the traps that riding
stoker on a tandem isn't independent enough.. too submissive to the male
'captain'. (I suppose the answer to that is "The Stoker is Always
Right")

Any better ideas than Aussie tandems?... we were playing around with a
few.. but kept coming back to that. Oz tandems.? Tandem Oz (the others
reckoned that sounded like an 'event')... So Tandems Down Under would as
well... Even considered expanding the Sydney concept to NSW.. but
figured that wouldn't really work (although you could have a Blues
theme to it...).. Anyway, seeing there aren't that many tandemers in
Australia it seems a bit silly to limit ourselves... Tandems R Us.
Have Kids Will Pedal (only works for those of us doing it with the
kids..)

If we go with the Aussie theme, does that mean we go with the gold and
green?... Or just choose other colours altogether?
