8th UPDATE
Motorist Temporarily Derails Pan-American
Journey
- The Vogel family -- two 10 year-old twin boys and their parents
-- set off on a 30 month, 20,000 mile journey from Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina along the Pan American Highway this
past June 8th. While on a stop over in Albuquerque, New Mexico
dad John and son Daryl were knocked down by a motorist while
riding back to their guest's home after having their tandem serviced
at a local bike shop. John was sore and Daryl was shaken but
not harmed and the tandem is being looked at to see if it's been
damaged. You can read the entire update at their Blog HERE. You can also read
more about their journey and their tie-in with Reach the World,
an educational 501(3)(c) non-profit organization with the mission
of linking students in under-funded schools to online, global
expeditions at their
Website.
40 UK Tandem Teams Make Annual 2 Day,
434 Mile Run -
Graham Adams, a former 24-hour tandem time trial champion, led
40 tandem teams on an annual round-trip journey from London to
Shuttleworth and back this past week. They made the 434 mile
trip in under 48 hours. The report of the trip came by way of
the Northhampton Chronicle's website where they noted the group
stopped by the Navigation Inn in Cosgrove for a pub lunch along
their "double-quick-time" trip. In an interview with
the Chronicle's reporter Graham gave the history of the annual
journey, noting, "It really started after I and some
friends went away on a tandem cycling holiday in 1965. We enjoyed
ourselves so much we did it again the next year and ever since.
It's great that it has grown so big but we do it for a bit of
fun really."
Scunny Bunnies Raise Funds To Buy A
Tandem For a Sightless Friend - Three young school girls, Holly Fincham
(11), Bethany Ladlow (12) and Chloe Taylor (11) who dubbed themselves
the Scunny Bunnies of Schunthorpe, put in over 1,000 hours of
volunteer work over the summer and raised enough money to buy
a fellow classmate a tandem bicycle. The friend, Jack Garner,
lost his vision last year and wanted a tandem bicycle so that
he could still compete in his schools triathlon competition.
For their efforts, the three girls were selected as the winners
of the Humberside Police Lifestyle competition. For their efforts,
the three girls were rewarded with a holiday to Walt Disney World,
in Florida. You can read the entire story and see a photo of
all four kids HERE.
Santana Has Updated Their SafeCase
Packing Instructions - At least, that's what I suspect happened.
For whatever reason, my search engine discovered what appears
to be a recent update to Santana's on-line information library
and the 6-page, illustrated step-by-step (and I do mean step-by-step)
instructions for disassembling / packing / unpacking / reassembling
a Santana Stowaway tandem using their nifty but oversized Airliner
SafeCase™ AND FTS™ Foam Tray System. You can find the
.pdf document HERE.

8th UPDATE
Tandems on Sal Collura's VeloTV - Friend Henry of Webcyclery passed
us a couple links to a special tandem series that Sal Collura
produced for his show, VeloTV.
You can find the links to these shows at Webcyclery's site
by clicking HERE
or at Co-Motion's Blog by clicking HERE.
Webcyclery's site has all four parts of the show: the Intro,
an interview with Henry & ace Stoker Amy as well as some
footage from the Co-Motion Classic Crit, a Co-Motion tandem overview
with Dwan Shepherd, and then a factory tour of Co-Motion where
you can see how they build their tandems. The latter was,
of course, my personal favorite. Mars
Girl & Mike Do The Red Flannel Century - Blogger
"Mars Girl" from Stow, Ohio, provides a wonderful account
of her time spent stoking on tandem during the Lorain County
Wheelmen's premier end-of-season ride, the Red Flannel Metric
Century. Read her Blog entry HERE.Tandem
Folks in the News: Tandems & Triplets in NZ
- Bronwyn Torrie of the Manawau Standard caught up with Matthew

Tandem riding, in any form and for any reason, is a good
thing to do.

1st UPDATE
Ever Wonder Just How Popular Your Own Web Site
Was Compared To #1 Yahoo? - Alexa Internet is a firm that collects
information on Web traffic and then ranks Web sites in terms
of traffic volume such that sites like CNN.com come in at #50
whereas FoxNews.com comes in at #227. Our Website came in at
#2,635,683 which, while lower than Co-Motion at #1,771,404, was
higher than Santana at #2,901,556 and significantly higher than
the Tandem Club of America at #13,262,881. Anyway, as you can
guess, I've created a spreadsheet that lists the Top 10 Websites
along with some of the more well-known businesses and then 82
cycling and tandem cycling related Websites ranked from most
visited to least. You can find my spreadsheet HERE.
Survey
Said? Tandem Cyclists Are Probably More Self-Sufficient Than
The Average Cyclist - Well, maybe not. I've stopped watching the
data coming in on the Survey tool and captured the first 291
responses in a spread sheet that you can find HERE. You'll notice the
data in my spreadsheet is a bit different than what you saw on
line. For Questions #5 - #9 I added an 11th data point to account
for the non-responses such that the percentages reflected for
the other answers was normalized. I've also extracted the write-in
replies and captured those in a separate spreadsheet that also
provides my feedback to each of the comments provided you can
find HERE. For future reference,
these survey results have also been added to the 9 different
surveys already contained on my Survey
Archives Web page.
Summary
of the Fall '08 Maintenance Poll: What the data seems to suggest is,
the 291 folks who frequent Tandem@Hobbes, the Tandem sub-forum
at BikeForums.net, and Double Forte (Off-Road Tandem Enthusiasts)
and who were inclined to take my little survey are on average
able to deal with most of the routine and even some of the more
advanced bicycle maintenance tasks. More than 1/2 (53%) are pretty
good about keeping up with the maintenance on their tandems,
giving it a once over before major events, rides, or tours. Almost
a 1/3 were able to buy their tandems from a relatively local
dealer and about 1/2 of the respondents can get their tandem
serviced locally, although 6% are struggling to get help. Interestingly,
only 51% of the respondents reported a minor failure with 27%
reporting a serious failure. Drive (21%) and sync (16%) chains
accounted for most of the minor issues and broken seat posts
or handlebars (12%) were the most reported of the serious issues.
The serious failures resulted in injuries to 7% of the respondents.
Tandem Folks In The News: Tim &
Marilyn Jones - Tim Jones wrote a nice account of a late fall
outing he and his stoker Marilyn took along the Cape
Cod Rail Trail System. This was not some blistering fast time trial
but a very nice "12-mile-per hour, almost four-hour ride
on the 22-mile-long" journey meant to enjoy the late season
and togetherness. You can read the article HERE.
Tandem Folks In The Blogs: The Sneathen
Family
- The
Sneathen family was granted the use of a neighbor's tandem recently
that allowed them the opportunity to share cycling with their
autistic son in a way that can only be experienced on a tandem.
You can read their first impressions HERE.
Just how small is the Cycling World?
Pretty darn small - While going through the blog items captured
in my daily Google search engine results imagine my surprise
when I saw a collection of off-road tandem cycling photos taken
by friends here in the Atlanta / Tennessee area on an Aussie's
Blog entry? Why yes, even we were there. The photos were poached
from good friend David H's account and, well, I must confess
I too have poached some of his photos with either tacit or explicit
permission. Anyway, it is amusing to see once again how the Internet
brings folks with like interests ever closer. You can see the
Blog entry and photos HERE.
Tandem Folks In The News: Anne Baron
& Annie Corner - Known locally as "The A Team", Great
Habton resident Anne Baron and Annie Corner have teamed up on
a tandem to raise donations for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. This
particular article caught the duo after recently completing a
28 mile ride that raised an additional £2,000 for the charity.
You can read the full article HERE.
Goondiwindi Launches new tandem cycling
program for the disabled - Cycling Queensland and Sports Connect
(coordinated in Queensland by Sporting Wheelies and Disabled
Association) have formed a joint effort to promote inclusive
sporting opportunities for school students and community members
with a disability to participate in the sport of cycling. A two-day
tandem bike ride from Toowoomba to Goondiwindi will officially
turn the wheels on Goondiwindi's new tandem cycling program.

25th UPDATE
2009 Co-Motion Catalogs Are On The
Street! I was thrilled to see a large while
envelope bearing the Co-Motion logo on the counter when I arrived
home from work yesterday as it could only be one of two things:
an unsolicited job offer package or the 2009 catalog. Thankfully,
it was the catalog (thanks Gary!) because after the week I had
a downwardly mobile career change (income-wise) was looking pretty
attractive. Anyway, as always great stuff... noting that it's
the Periscopes and the new 26"
Pangea single touring bike that have really captured
my imagination of late. Look for them at your dealers or request
one on line, or download a .pdf version if you're in
the market for a new tandem or single bike. However, I would
note that just about everything you see in the catalog is now
available on Co-Motion's recently re-vamped Website.
When is a tandem
not a tandem? When
the riders aren't sitting one-behind-the-other. A tandem is,
by definition, a two-wheeled bicycle where all of the riders
sit in a single line... regardless of how many riders there are.
Therefore, even if the tandem has 10 riders as the 1890's Oriten
did, it's still a tandem. A recent article regarding a "16-seat
tandem" in the UK brought this detail to mind as what they
really had was a 16-seat pedal car with two rows of 8 passengers
sitting on a four-wheel, human-powered vehicle. It was all for
a good cause and you can read about it HERE.
Same thing goes for the German-made 'Twike",
a zero-emissions side-by-side pedal car where another journalist
/ blogger sees two seats and thinks "tandem".
Tandem folks on blogs: Mary Ellen from
the SF Bay Area
- Mary Ellen's husband, Rich, has been a long-time contributor
to the tandem forum at www.bikeforums.net and my little search
engine that could just stumbled over Mary Ellen's blog. Both
are very focused cyclists who train hard (good grief they even
have Russian coaches), kick serious butt on their single bikes
and kick butt on the tandem; however, they have also become quite
fond of Santana Cycles' lavish tandem cycling tours. You can
read Mary Ellen's account of their most recent trip to Mallorca,
Spain at her Blog HERE
and Rich has posted his account along with photos HERE.
We did one of Santana's more affordable tours many years ago
at Asheville, North Carolina and it WAS lavish and spectacular.
Given the time and resources, it's easy to see how many folks
become regulars on Santana's tours.
Tandem Folks in the news: The Parents
of Jennifer Schwartz
- This is just a great article by Jennifer -- a BU grad and freelance
writer -- about her parents and their discovery of tandems through
a chance encounter with Mel & Barb Kornbluh of Tandems East
at the Jersey Shore. Jennifer provides an entertaining, 3rd person
view of how her parents went from angst filled single bike riding,
through the sometimes challenging learning process of tandeming,
before becoming avid tandem enthusiasts who headed off to Italy
for a tandem tour this past September. You
can read her story here.
Tandem folks on blogs: Tracey from
down under - The
short bio on her blog says it all: G'day, I'm Tracey... Mid
40s. One husband. 3 kids. Dysfunctional housewife. Still don't
know what I want to do when I grow up. Some people I know think
that I'm crazy. Sometimes I think they're right. Tracey's
latest blog entry provides a colorful description of their recent
tandem adventure: Around The Bay in a Day. A 210km bike ride
around Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne to Melbourne. You can find
her blog HERE.
Co-Motion / Gates Carbon Drive Update
- Friend and tandem
enthusiast (OK, he's more than an enthusiast) Henry of Webcyclery.com
wrote to let us know that he's just finished upgrading his own
Co-Motion Macchiato frame with one of the new Gates Carbon Drive
belt & pulley sync drive. You can read his account of the
installation and see photos of the final results HERE.
Tandem folks in my Email In-Box: Brenda &
Larry of NJ - Friend
and off-road tandem enthusiast Malcolm Boyd wrote to let us know
about Brenda & Larry's record-setting finish during the sixth
running of the Iron "Cross in the Micheax State Forest near
Carlisle, PA, on October 12. As two of the 270 participants in
what is billed as "Americas Longest Cyclocross Event",
they blistered the 62 mile course with its 6,300' of vertical
gain in 6 hours and 43 minutes. You can read Malcolm's entire
account and see some photos HERE.
Robert Crampton of the Times On Tandems - Timesonline Columnist Robert Crampton
shared his tandem experience in a recent article that you can
find near the bottom of THIS
PAGE. In short, whilst left without the family car and
the need to transport his son to school he decided to give it
a go on a tandem. Not just any tandem, but a rented relic of
the golden age when men were men and tandems weighed 75 lbs and
had one gear. It's a very entertaining read and his closing remarks
are, in fact, the very essence of tandeming: Tandems, I
realise, are all about trust.
Tandem folks in the news: Bruce and
Gay Castle of Forest Meadows, CA - Bruce and Gay nabbed a mention in an account
of the 2nd Annual Mr. Frogs Wild Ride and BBQ at Murphy's California.
You can read the entire article HERE.
Smiley El-Abd on his Dual Disc Equipped
Tandem - Co-Motion's
blog included a guest entry this week by Smiley El-Abd who recently
completed tours of Mallorca, Spain, and the Finger Lakes region
of NY, with his new dual-disc equipped Co-Motion Periscope. You
can read the entry and see photos HERE.

more than coincidence and timing, but during the past week two
different stories about romance and tandems have appeared at
Glamour.com's website. You can find them HERE
(Why is this couple so cute) and HERE
(Tandem figures into frugal, fun wedding).
Tandem Folks in the

- Chuck Hood posted a
great photo on Co-Motion's blog this past week of himself
and Dwan hard at work during what I believe was Interbike. I'm
really enjoying Co-Motion's blog entries which amazingly come
up almost immediately on my pre-programmed daily searches of
the Internet.
Ironman Fights ALS And

About
This Web Site
TheTandemLink.com
is basically a non-commercial, personal web site that we (that
would be me) keep up and running for the benefit of tandem enthusiasts.
It was developed as a free and easy to navigate resource for
folks searching the Internet to learn more about tandems, tandem
clubs, tours, events, and the like. It was developed as a direct
result of my own efforts to learn more about tandems and tandemings
back in the late 1990's, a time when finding good
information was a challenge... which is still true today.
The site is essentially
a collection of over 2,000 links to other Web sites that have
been categorized on approximately 18 different web pages to allow
visitors to "drill-down" for additional information
and links. The only organic materials on the site are the bulletin
board entries which I compose based on whatever comes across
my computer and tweaks my interest, a used tandem pricing tool
and a variety of articles that I have cobbled together over the
years. At the time of its creation and to this day, we believe
it to be the most comprehensive tandem-specific Web site on the
Internet. I am presently rethinking the content of this site
and may begin to add more organic content to provide one-stop-shopping,
so to speak.
Perhaps most
important of all, your visits to the site are just that; your
visits. We do not collect data on our visitors, sell advertising
nor collect fees from the Web sites we link to. Yes, there are
now Google ads on most of the pages because, well, it helps to
defray some of the costs to keep this site up and running; however,
those are the only revenue generators... the rest of the links
on our site don't generate any income. While perhaps this is
short-sighted on my part, it does allow me to remain objective
with regard to what I post to my site.
Although some
articles of my own are linked off of this site, the vast majority
of my writings can be found in the archives of Tandem@Hobbes
under my own name and BikeForums.net where I post under a nom
de plume. A search of those repositories will yield thousands
of detailed articles that address a variety of tandem related
subjects.... enough to fill a few books.
Thanks for visiting.
