Commuting on a tandem?

[Grog]

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?

A guy I know often rides a tandem by himself for hundreds of kilometers after dropping his daughters to summer camp or something. Actually, it's a "tri-dem": a tandem with a trailer bike at the back.

He's a pretty strong rider, and an experienced one. But I'm sure that if it's not a very long distance, and not too hilly, you'll be fine..
