Paying it forward - sharing the tandem

[LBTC]

Hi, everyone!

Fabulous stroke of luck today - DH and I will be taking possession of a very nice tandem bike, possibly as early as this week.

DH has a vision that I think is awesome - make it available to the cycling community for locals who want to try it, or visitors (not unlike our transcontinenatl CrazyCanuck next month). He's thinking we'll have to cover some costs, so ask folks to put in a couple of bucks each time they use it so we can keep it in good repair; and we're thinking of keeping it under our sun deck with a sign out sheet....

Have any of you ever done something like this before? Any ideas on how to do it "right"? Anything for us to really be worried about?

Just looking for a little feedback and ideas. We're really excited about it!

Hugs and butterflies,

T..i'm happy to be a guinea pig! I've never ridden a tandem but will def give it a shot..

Why not have a little book with it & have folks write about thier adventures on the tandem?

Maybe it's the lawyer in me but I'd be really worried about liability, particularly if you're going to ask people for money (any money).
