Thanks Jiffer! The tandem is definitely fast! Riders love the draft from it! I really don't like going down steep hills fast on that. I just had to trust my captain to keep us safe, and that is a bit scary!

I also tried the drop position, and didn't feel very stable either. I figured I just need to ride more and get used to it. I am just like you in not feeling very comfortable yet.

The guy (Bill) that fit me, gave me the analogy of pretend you have a glass of water on the top of your foot. Pedal so you don't spill it, and you will have great form. I will have to see how the pushing across the pedal compares to the water analogy. Thanks! Hills suck. (or they make me suck...a LOT of air!)

I am used to letting my hands 'float' as sometimes my hands to get a bit tingly. Bill told me to RELAX my shoulders, and it was great as my elbows bent and gave me better form. I have problems relaxing the shoulders, another thing to get used to for me.

I shall see how fast and for how long I can go on the flats all by myself! I will be the only one pushing myself!
