Perhaps if I'd been in front and in control I would have felt better about it. Your brother's remark about overtaking trucks and buses going downhill on a tandem bike with three people and camping gear sounds a bit scary!!!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-34716895174866920642020-03-23T00:22:26.101+00:002020-03-23T00:22:26.101+00:00Oh these are great photos of family members on whe...Oh these are great photos of family members on wheels.

It was designed for racing rather than touring.<br /><br />However, ten years later, a restored Sun tandem dating from the 1930's carried my wife Norma, our two year old daughter Diana and me on a seven day journey from Yorkshire to Kent with full camping gear. With all that weight aboard, on a down-hill stretch we could overtake trucks and buses!Roger Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076364512957667043noreply@blogger.com
