We bought a tandem after doing our first century on our mountain bikes with slicks because we got passed by so many tandems on the ride! We had the tandem for almost a year before I bought a single. A couple of months later, Thom bought a single as well. We like having a choice about what kind of riding we'll do. We mix it up a lot, sometimes mountain biking, sometimes singles, sometimes the tandem.

Once bad weather comes, Thom's single goes into the trainer (we both ride 54 cm Rivs.) It works for us.
