It's called "kidney control". Basically a poke in the kidneys.
LOL! My husband says this about tandems:
Tandems are Marriage Hammers. It will either forge it stronger or shatter it asunder!
And this is why we have a Big Dummy. I am live cargo.
If we had to get a tandem, I'd highly recommend the stoker gets a free wheel in the back though. That's a wonderful invention!
This is a helpful thread. I want to get a tandem for when my dad & I visit all 40 state parks in Missouri that have campgrounds. That's 2200 miles in 45 days. He's dubious, but it would be so much easier to stay together.
DBF and I have been tossing around the idea of getting a tandem at some point. The conversation went:
Me: "It might be fun, but we might kill each other too."
Him: "No, it'd be fun. You pedal on the uphills, I pedal on the downhills!"
Me: "Let me think about that...No."
