Surprisingly nobody's yet joked about my "lost" stoker!
Last time he insisted on tying Stinky Baby (a baby doll) onto the top of the BOB trailer bag we kept getting stopped by people who wanted to make sure it wasn't real.

My husband's Trek Doubletrack was from Ebay for $500 and I've since seen another of the same on Craigslist for $300. Just make sure you get the right size or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
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?
