Anybody ridden a tandem with independent coasting system?

Sounds like something the two of you would enjoy, that’s what’s important…..well, and the stoker can feel less guilty cuz the pilot doesn’t have the resistance of their pedals. Have friends who have ridden an ics mtb tandem for a few years now and they really like it for that purpose.

….and with a bob trailer it would make for a great cross continent adventure

Indeed! That's one thing we've talked about. We can't do any major touring while we still have Paisley, but DH has always, always wanted to ride cross-country, and once we have some dog-free time, so long as we are both healthy enough to do it, that would be the time for it. We did a loaded, self-supported tour on our Bike Fridays, but as usual, I kept falling behind, and even though we shifted more and more weight to DH's panniers, we were still mismatched in the very hilly upstate New York area we toured.

Thanks, RebeccaC!
