My mum and dad borrowed a tandem once to see what it was like before they went the whole hog and bought one to go on holiday. They lived in Spring Hill and got as far as the top of Charter St before my dad decided that it was not going to be the mode of transport that revolutionised their free time. My mum could not reach the pedals at all and so poor old dad found that he was having to do the donkey work for both of them. ( idont think that the gear sysytem was too sophisticated either so by the time he got to Willows Lane the experience had nearly put his lights out permanently.
