This might be somewhat OT, but I thought I would ask the few of you who are tandem captains what advice you would give to a new captain. It has been a while...
A charity ride is coming up this Saturday, and it's at night, and since I'm night-blind, a friend of mine has offered to captain the tandem. I fixed one up, and we rode around a few times. Here's what I know: On starting: -captain gets on first, feet on ground -stoker gets on, puts feet on pedal -captain starts On stopping: -captain puts feet down first? -stoker puts feet down, and gets off -captain gets off On turning: both lean, right? Part of the problem is that my friend is shorter than I am by 2-4 inches, which may influence her handling. We have no problem riding around, just not so great on starting and stopping. Thanks in advance for any advice! -E. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
