Tandem ride on the Big Banana

April 26th, 2009 · Meg - Sydney · No Comments

Rosy and I borrowed a gorgeous old tandem bike from Lynn at Chainring Transit Authority and took it for a spin today. Slightly weird to get use to at first, particularly when being on the back. I found myself trying to steer and go for brakes that weren’t there. It’s a 6 speed and you can actually get up a pretty good pace once you start to really sync with your passenger. If you’re on the back you still get a pretty good view over the driver’s shoulder and being able to look around to the sides and behind you is pretty cool, not to mention being able to slack off on pedaling.  Definitely good value for a laugh and lots of comments from other cyclists.
