Apparently, Gord Fraser's fame has spread to even the tri-geeks out there...
There was an article written on www.slowtwitch.com, a triathlon-oriented website, about riding with Gord Fraser on a tandem at the Tour de Tuscon, written from the stoker's perspective of course. Due to language used that some might find offensive, I won't reproduce the article on the email list, but I'll provide the link for those who are interested: http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadings/features/riccitello/tandem.html While I've only tandem-biked myself on a mountain bike tandem, I can sort of relate to the stoker's trials and tribulations. But personally, I prefer taking the back seat, especially on climbs. Captain: huff... puff... c'mon, put some juice into it back there! Me: (watching a butterfly sail by) okie dokie, you're the boss... Captain: hnnuuuggh... dangit, this hill is too long! Me: (sees a bevy of female cyclists passing the tandem) not long enough... - Marlon Tang "I will not say; do not cry! For not all tears are evil." - J.R.R.
