uber uber jealous over here! not only of the tandem and the kiddo that can keep up, but the speed! I just rode my first ride of the year at 13mph solo ROFL!
enjoy!

I've managed mostly outdoor rides for about the past month (though it hasn't been particularly pleasant prior to this week). Today was about the first ride where my legs seemed to remember what they are supposed to do. My first few rides were closer to 14mph and that was me working my butt off, for sure!

Brilliant! It looks like you had a perfect day for it too, I hope today's ride is even better
I'm not even going to say what my average speed is with Small Girl in the trailer.... especially on the up-hills...Dawes Cambridge Mixte, Specialized Hardrock, Specialized Vita.

I think kid in a trailer has exactly the inverse effect of kid on a tandem. Boy, do those ever make pedaling a slow and hard process! Originally Posted by hebe

Cool! Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun.
We attached the piccolo to my mntn bike this weekend and did a 5 mile and 7 mile ride with dd. Those are long rides for her. We had no complaints either! Last year she complained every 30 seconds. I'm looking forward to a fun year of biking with the kids.2005 Giant TCR2

That's funny...last Fall we got a LOT more whining from the back of the tandem. What a difference 6 months makes! Originally Posted by limewave
