"Nice idea David and thanks for the encouragement Edwards. A 48 hour 2nd class train journey across India was definitely the make or break point in our marriage, so maybe we won't subject it to any more strain. I'm not averse to the idea of…"

"Hmm. Possibility for a neighbourhood tandem on loan/hire? I imagine there'd be a fair few people who'd use it for taking freinds on local tours... "

"We bought a Tandem last summer and have never laughed so much, even when I ended up over the handlebars and I am the captain. They definitely make or break a relationship go on give it a go.  "

"Probably work something out LS. Especially when the novelty has worn off!"

"I like the idea of a tandem but I don't think it would get much use as my kids are almost grown up. I also have storage problems and wouldn't be able to store it properly at the moment. If Jon has it I wouldn't mind a borrow if that…"

"Half each?"

"I think John and LS can fight this one out unless they can work out a sharing arrangement. Lovely looking bike and nice pipe dream of trundling out together on a Sunday afternoon, but a project too far for us."

"Funny,  a couple just up the road have got themselves a tandem, and I'm sure they'd have appreciated this! Beyond that, I would be interested, but haven't got suitable storage nor maintenance budget."

"Well, if nobody else wants it, I'll have it, John. I'll happily collect it and make a donation. And I'll make sure it gets cherished and used!"

"If you can not find a suitable home these people http://charlottestandems.weebly.com/ loan out tandems to disabled persons and would find the low stoker position useful."

"6'4" would be pushing it. "

"I do like this one: Rule #64 // Cornering confidence increases with time and experience. This pattern continues until it falls sharply and suddenly. "

"Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1 This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner."

"Am I allowed two tandems or is that just being greedy? "

"The girlfriend would kill me if I expressed an interest in a tandem! Very lovely though."

"I just made the mistake of mentioning this to my daughter who used to be desperate for a tandem. I thought at 19 she would have lost interest but I was wrong! Maybe some sort of tandem share could be aranged?"
