Teresa and I have had some great moments riding our tandem through the countryside together. We love having the wind at our backs (hopefully), the warmth of the sun on our faces, and sensing our legs pumping together in perfect rhythm. Almost every time that we pass someone out in their yard while on a ride they will shout out to me, "Hey, she's not pedaling!" Of course, I know that she's pedaling. I made sure of that by buying her shoes that clip into the pedals! She doesn't have a choice! If I'm pedaling then she's pedaling! Pedaling is something that we both do together on the tandem. Steering, braking, and shifting, however, are another matter entirely. Teresa has tried steering from the rear before! It didn't turn out well! We almost ended up going on two different sides of a big wooden pole! That's not something that you want to try on a Tandem! Neither is arguing over who is in charge! Especially if you are several miles from home! Trust...
We have spent so many years doing life in tandem with one another that we decided to buy one. Cycling while joined together has been a highlight of our lives This blog is designed to share our shared experiences while cycling and pastoring together.
