First ride - together

How often do you recon you can sing "a bicycle built for two" in your head during your first tandem ride? The answer is a lot!

We went for a short taster ride, pretty much all on-road, clicking up about 25km together. How different was it? Totally. Having the extra power when you ask for it is great, and cruising speed is way higher. However, cornering is wide and scary. It was pretty dark when we got back, and we both decided that riding on the road was noisy, and crossing the busy roads was hard too. We had several busy roads to traverse, roundabouts to navigate, cars to avoid... yuk.

We got back home, safe, undamaged, and planning the next ride.

Road next time? Hell no, lets hit the mud!
