Tandem cycle

Tandem bicycles are popular due to their speed and enjoyment factor. For harmonious riding, both riders must follow commands in a consistent tone. To change gears, the front rider should briefly ease pedal pressure while continuing to spin the cranks. For cruising, stop pedalling at the same foot position and glide along. Slowing down requires ceasing pedalling and gently applying brakes. To stop completely, brake immediately and halt pedaling from the cruising position. When ready to ride from a stationary position, either rider can ask, "Ready?" The rear rider can prepare for bumpy roads by slightly lifting off their seat (known as a 'bump'). Lastly, when trying to catch an orange light or traffic gap, both riders should exert maximum power on the pedals - that's going for it!
