This is really funny!
Ha. DH and I can do okay in a canoe. Although we do do better in our solo kayaks.
We think about a tandem every so often.....but then we come to our senses.
A friend of ours who's a racer wanted to his wife to take part in our group rides, so they tried with a tandem one day. She failed to grasp the concept that she had to pedal, too, and couldn't just be a passenger. It nearly killed him hauling that bike up and down hills for 30 miles. We all thought he was going to clock her one...but fortunately, they survived, and are still going strong!
