If you’ve ever wanted to create a scene from a corny romance movie, a tandem bike is for you! In all seriousness, though, there are a lot of benefits for people who choose to invest in this style of bicycle. First of all, they’re fun to ride. Coordinating your movement with another rider might sound like it would become a test of your relationship, but it’s actually quite fun. If you have any mobility concerns or disabilities, a tandem bike might be a great investment for you. You can have a fit and able-bodied person in the front seat who can do the majority of the work while you do what you can and enjoy the scenery along the way. If the idea of flying down hills at top speed gets you going, you’re going to love how fast tandem bikes can get. Because they weigh more than standard solo rider bikes (and have an extra person on top to boot), you can expect a tandem to be faster on flat surfaces that a regular bicycle and a heck of a lot faster on the descents. It isn’t unusual to hit over 50 miles per hour on a downhill. Hold on and have fun!
