I mean tandems and everything - what's not to like.
We owned one for a few years - hung the Christmas lights on it as it had to grace the lounge in our tiny Lancs home. And tandems were a large part of my working life at Manchester Velodrome. Somewhere I have a snap of eight tandems in my works office - such as it was. They were ready for one of the Tandem omniums I ran. Oh, and lets not forget The [two] Fuji tandems we managed to get made for Ellen and Aileen for the Athens paralympics where they won gold. [and again in Beijing].
Then Eve raced a few times on tandems with Paul Hunter and also Vic Possee, the latter in a tandem criterium I organised. She almost raced on tandem with Michael Hutchinson but the weather made the course unrideable which was a pity.
See here for more tandem posts.
Then up here in the windy cool north west Eve rode a 100 hilly and wet mile cyclosportive with Mr WInndy from which I'm not sure Mr WIndy has ever recovered from.
That's why I am attracted to images of tandems. Does that make sense>

It makes perfect sense.
I rode on the back of a tandem until I was 14....but now I wouldn't trust anyone on the front.... including myself!
I’m so happy to see this again, it’s my absolute favourite picture of yours. Not only is it pure Boxes and Bellows, there’s something of the Ealing Comedy about it that makes me laugh. Thank you.
