I recently got a tandem for my 7 year old and me to ride.... We love it. I got a Burley Zydeco since the rear bar is dropped and she can ride it with the seat lowered and no other setups....It will also fit an adult and is quite light so I can get it on top of my van using a Yakima Sidewinder rack which works well. Also, it was only about $1200, which, for a tandem, is pretty good. We ride it at least once a week and usually go 15-20 miles....when she wants to take a break, she removes her feet from the toeclips and rests them on the bar...

I recommend it to anyone who likes cycling and wants to spend fun time with their kid(s).
