Last Saturday Alvin and I got the itch to try out a tandem bike. The sales guys at the Bountiful Bike shop couldn't stress enough how important communication is while riding together on a tandem. "Ya, ya... How hard can it be?" Now if you know me you know I'm kind of a control freak but I'll try and deny it in the face of adventure. So off we went wobbling down the street behind Woods Cross High with Alvin manning the controls. I don't think I realized I wouldn't have control of the breaks or shifting gears. After the first two minutes, "Hell no, this isn't fun and it's not going to work." But like the sales guys said we realized the more we communicated the easier and more fun it got. We were almost ready to pull out the Visa until the image of Alvin biking to the U on a tandem by himself flashed through our heads. (lol) "Why the long face?"
