		<title>Riding in the Heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With summer in full swing and temperatures well into the 90&#8217;s across the country it is a great time to discuss riding in the heat. Tandems pose unique hazards as the combination of two different riders of unique body type and composition can wreak havoc on the completion of a ride.
Ride Planning

Lost in all the hubbub over Lance Armstrong, Floyd Landis, and the doping controversy is the news that Windham Resort in the Catskill Mountains of New [...]

		<title>Riding a Tandem &#8211; The Captain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The captain (sometimes called &#8220;pilot&#8221;) of a tandem is the rider in the front. Generally the captain should be an experienced solo bicyclist and, for new teams, requires good upper body physical strength.
The first time captain
There is a first time for everything and being a tandem captain is no different. It is best to ride [...]

		<title>Tandems East Where They Treat you like Royalty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The tandem community is a small sub-niche of the general cycling community. The dynamics that go into creating a tandem team limits the growth of the genre and therefore directly impacts the size and shape of the businesses that focus on the needs of tandem bike teams. While in South New Jersey our editors had [...]

		<title>Stoker Comfort: Seat Post on a Tandem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For first time tandem riders it is often most difficult to fathom the extreme vibrations transmitted to the stoker via their seatpost. On a single seat bike the frame geometry allows for a balance between front and back end vibrations. Tandems on the other hand, with the long wheelbase, focus a majority of the vibrational [...]

Celebrating the birth of the United States among some of the more famous national landmarks was a thrilling experience. What made the entire trip more thrilling was just how tandem friendly the DC area has become.

		<title>Installing New Derailleur Cables</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Geared tandems require more consistent and regular maintenance of the derailleur cables. The longer length and additional housing combine to degrade shifting performance. To ensure proper shifting performance tandem teams should plan on replacing the cables and housing on a regular maintenance interval. The following guide walks you through the cable changing process.
1. Buy Cables [...]

		<title>Rider Etiquette and &#8220;That Guy&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Riding a tandem in itself makes you unique on the roads and trails. There is not a ride that passes without someone shouting a compliment or joke (the standby is usually &#8220;he/ she isn&#8217;t pedaling!&#8221;).
Given the high visibility of tandem riding, etiquette is very important. When passing it is best to greet others with a [...]

		<title>The Crazy Dog Sprint</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a recent trip in the countryside we got a little extra sprint training thanks to an overzealous guard dog. You know the type too. They run really fast along the fence line growling and barking as you peddle by the yard. Even though the dog may be friendly just the chance of the dog [...]
