Thanks guys.

Mimitabby, I had a feeling I'd get a comment on my "girly girl" thing. It was simply my silly way of saying "women". I edited my post, so as not to offend anyone!

It's great to chat with another tandem rider. There should be a tandem forum on this site. Maybe I'll suggest it. Do you know if anyone has?

I know what you mean about coming here where there aren't any male experts telling us what for! My husband deems himself the expert on pretty much everything and loves to tell everyone how to do everything. I am blessed to have him to teach me all about cycling, but I love coming here and getting other people's perspectives, especially women.
