a bicycle built for two
Josh and I bought a used tandem yesterday and rode it today. And either we were surprisingly good at riding it, or it’s surprisingly easy. Hooray!
It seems to play well to our strengths. I have good core strength (being a Pilates ninja and all) but not much upper-body strength yet, while Josh is exactly the opposite. My job today as stoker was mostly to keep my balance extremely steady while Cap’n Josh handled the steering. Works out great! And Josh is very good at taking in my feedback about how he can communicate with me better on the bike. I think we have the makings of a good tandem team.
It was so much fun!
