What did I see?

Leo Lichtman 20 May 2005 05:07:11
 Im driving along on a city street, when I see ahead of me a tandem, ridden
by two men. Something is peculiar: their cadences are slightly different.
I overtook them, and tried to figure it out, but i had to ewatch the traffic
also, so I only saw this much:

1.) They were peddling at nearly the same cadence, but one was definitely a
little slower.

2.) The frame geometry was different from any other tandem I have ever
seen.

3.) The bike may have been made by welding two frames together. The front
half was blue, and the rear half was brown.

Leo, Leo, Leo. You've got to take OFF those goofy glasses when you leave
the 3-D movie house.

Reminds me of an old joke I saw in a childhood comic annual.

A couple on a tandem are climbing a steep hill. He (at front) is
sweating furiously, she's taking it fairly easy.

"Steep hill, this!" he calls out.

"Yes, if I didn't have the brakes on, we'd be slipping back!" she
replies.

Or refrain from dropping too much acid.

Although uncommon, this can be done. It takes a longer tandem frame to keep
from making foot contact. The common chainrings would need to be different
sizes.

If #1 is true, then this would have to be true.

It does make sense that you could change the chainrings to suit each
riders preferred cadence. With imagination, almost anything is possible.
