Whew boy, where to start? It's funny that you should ask about the lack-of-control thing, because we are currently taking a "tandem break" for just that reason.

Both Captain and I have years of experience riding and racing single bikes. I've always been a fairly vocal and active stoker.

Probably due to lack of control issues in other areas of my life this year, I just kind of "lost it" on the tandem recently. I quite literally could not sit in the back w/o being able to see or to "drive".

It's not difficult, physically, for me to switch back and forth between the two bikes, it's more of a psychological thing.

The tandem IS great fun, and I hope that by taking a break, I'll really start to miss the big bike and I'll be able to stoke again.
