AnnieP Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Altogether now...... "Daisy, Daisy..." We've just bought a Tandem! The idea being that we can go for bike rides without super fit OH riding off into the distance and nagging me to keep up! I get the back seat so can negate all responsibility for steering and can admire the countryside. (Also, can slacken when he's not looking and get him to do all the hard work). Brilliant! Hope its not too difficult to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 You'll love it an ex boyfriend and I had a tandem trike once, we had a whale of a time on it boy did we get some funny looks! karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Sounds terriffic, Annie! Hope you both have fun practising during the summer. Very wise to take the back seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (I'm not sure if it can still be called a tandem with three seats)... Dan, It was a trandem. I expect you've forgotten due to the bump on the head this morning. Anything else you've forgotten? Will another bump on the head restore your memory? (That was the way to cure loss of memory in the films I saw as s child.) Richard T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 OK: When it arrives, I promise I'll post a picture of me doing the Bill Oddie pose! (with the glass of wine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Oh now that's cool, Annie! I'd love a tandem (I could sit at the back and pretend to pedal while LSH did all the work - bet you've already thought of that one !). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
