WARNING

TANDEMS    ARE  BIGGER,  HEAVIER,  AND  LESS  MANEUVERABLE  THAN  SINGLE  RIDER 

BIKES. 

•   Ride very cautiously as your team climbs the tandem learning curve.  

•   More time is needed to react and avoid ride hazards.  

•   Always think further ahead.   Allow more time.  Learn to anticipate hazards.  

Tandem riding, like any bicycle riding carries a risk of serious injury, paralysis or death. 

The Captain’s Responsibility

The captain’s primary job is to make the stoker happy. With an unhappy stoker, the captain won’t 

have a riding partner! So you must reassure your partner with careful, methodical riding habits. 

Anticipate maneuvers, beginning them far in advance. Be alert to shifting needs. A too-fast or 

too-slow cadence is doubly annoying to the stoker because she/he can’t fix it. Watch the road or 

trail ahead, and make your steering and braking corrections smoothly.  
Ride slightly farther from the curb, or from parked cars, than you would on a single bike. Your 

stoker doesn’t want to feel hemmed in. If you ride too far to the right, you may find your stoker 

leaning to the left, trying to veer away from the curb.
When you conduct a maneuver, such as merging across traffic to make a left turn or steering 

around a pothole, make your decision early. Signal your intentions clearly, proceed on a straight 

path, and complete the maneuver. A decisive captain will ride smoother, and that will make the 

stoker happier.
Most  new  tandemists  find  captaining  exhausting,  and  they  get  sore  shoulder  muscles  from 

being tense. This too will pass. As you become accustomed to the requirements of captaining a 

tandem, you’ll develop a light touch.
Don’t  hot  dog.  If  your  stoker  is  nervous,  ride  slowly.  In  time,  the  stoker  may  become  more 

confident and ask for more speed. But if she/he wants to go slow, go slow! The more conservative 

voice must prevail. That’s only fair. Remember, you’re the chauffeur, not the stunt pilot.
