Commuting on a tandem?

[Eden]

I have been considering doing this with my 15 year old daughter. But I have a dumb question - can I ride the tandem by myself after dropping her at her drop point?

I have seen people ride a tandem solo, so it is physically possible - though I'm not sure how stable this is, how difficult it is (they are heavy compared to a single bike...) and how far you would want to go....
