Subject: RE: Tandems?We used to have a Family Tandem. It was really really tiny and folded up well for packing. My mom used to take us kids on bike tours (Bike Virginia, Cycle Across MD ) on them. I also distinctly remember going down a huge hill and hearing change fall out of my pocket. At the next rest stop we realized they were the screws holding the bike together, and we could bend the two halves up and down about 10 degrees. I thought it was great in my 10 year old mind, looking back that's kind of terrifying.
It got kind of boring staring at the back of my parents' shirt, and I also have a great memory of my dad hauling @$$ up a mountain with my brother on the back, who casually asked what the difference between an atom and a molecule was. My dad almost left him on the side of the road. Edited by gracetheterp 2007-12-11 5:57 PM
