How to ride a tandem bike
How I did it: Devin and I bought a tandem bicycle off of craigslist to have forever. We went to pick it up from a man's house and got a really good deal on it. We shopped for a while- the type of tandem we like goes so so quickly! We take it out and ride it on the sea wall
Lessons & tips: When shopping for one, shop with someone who knows about bicycles
Resources: Craigslist
