Thank you all for your advice. It was really helpful, especially the bit about how the captain can hold the bike during mount/dismount.
The ride is only 11 miles and with like 100 other folks so it's not particularly fast. You could say I would be there just to enjoy the ride...but it does give me a good incentive to seek other tandem captains in the future. Interesting fact: I'm deaf, so I don't rely on voice commands or hand signals when on a tandem - mostly I focus on the rhythm and on the streets when it comes to stops, bumps, and turns. Most of the time I actually do all the talking (maps, etc) especially if the captain is talking to someone else in the group and not paying attention to the road. :) -E.
