Who else has tortured their family with their own love of bicycles? Who else has told themselves, “Well, it’s good for them.” Leah once again starts an epic thread. It's much more (fun) when they get to be middle school age! My wife and I honeymooned in Vermont on our Santana tandem. Yes, 27" wheels with 1 1/8" tires, right, Jock? So, around the time our daughters were middle school aged, we bought another tandem (Co-Motion Periscopa) for a family Christmas present and the following summer packed up the minivan and headed for Vermont. We started out with adult/child pairs on each, and it was immediately obvious that one pair was a lot faster than the other. We struggled through a rainy first day that way, and tempers were short in our soggy tent that night. The next morning dawned clear and beautiful, but after the first hill it was clear we needed to change things up. We put both kids on the Co-Motion and they disappeared up the next hill, leaving the old folks behind. The smiles on their faces didn't disappear the rest of the trip. Considering how rocky their relationship could be (middle school girls, remember...) it was a miracle. We were just glad we didn't take too long to figure it out!
