One of the more interesting aspects to riding a tandem is the assumption by roadies that they need to get past us because they will be faster. And they are faster on hills and starting after a stop. But...um...not on the downhills, guys! Yesterday on our ride, a couple of guys on singles felt the need to go in front of us when we were stopped at a traffic light, even knowing that we were all heading for a long downhill. They then proceeded to ride right in the middle of the lane. However, I have developed really STENTORIAN tones and I bellowed, "ON YOUR LEFT!!!" so loudly that you best believe they moved over and we screamed on by them. Boys...you can pass us on the hills. You might or might not be able to pass us on the flats. Gravity says, though, that you will not pass us on the downhills.
