Thanks for all the advice! Great thing about this whole experience is that my girlfriend actually wouldn't mind buying a tandem with me. So this might be in the near future if we can find a used tandem our size or if Rivendell puts up plans on making a tandem. Ultimately our goal is to go on a bike tour together so plans on getting a tandem that not only has rack braze ons but also is portable led me to this nifty tandem folder from Bike Friday.
http://community.bikefriday.com/twosday?styleId=0 Does any one have any experience with this tandem? Also as a added bonus here was pictures of said ride. Our previous experiences riding together ended up with us being very disconnected because our different riding styles. I was either too bored of the pace that we were going or the route would be too hard for her. Previous attempts of riding "together" ended up in disaster when we both fell trying to ride while holding hands ( We thought it was a good idea at the time). So knowing that cycling was something we both enjoyed but was hard to compromise we decided to rent a tandem. So off we went to the city to rent a tandem bike from Blazing Saddles. Their service was outstanding even if it seemed a little corny. Explaining us the route and safety concerns like we weren't from there already. The first few minutes of riding was shaking but once we got a hang of it we started to have some fun. Our riding and our communication seemed more in-sync and we both got to enjoy the beauty of riding together. She enjoyed it so much that she wanted to try renting out another one again. Pictures proved that it happen. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mannyacosta/sets/72157625363002708/ Manny On Nov 11, 10:54 am, erik jensen <[email protected]> wrote: > perfect. > > On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 11:34 PM, CycloFiend <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > Remember, where ever your relationship is going, a tandem will get it there > > faster... ;^) > > > - Jim > > > -- > > oakland, ca > bikenoir.blogspot.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
