I hope that it will serve as a warning to our beginners: Tandem is not that easy. Many things can go wrong. As always "green and green makes black and blue!" So you really should have knowledgeable help around when you start playing with this. There is a reason for the saying that in order to be a tandem driver you must have suicidal tendencies :-) - but I also agree, once you have mastered it, it can also be great fun, plus be a great preparation for learning the rein handling for driving four. I hope your Kopf and all else too get better again soonest. Glad that your good sense of humor was not damaged :-) Hardy
