To get on our tandem I have to step over the top tube to avoid hitting the rear handlebars were I to I swing my leg back there. It is not as step-through as the Platypus. It is a sloped top tube, so to make it even lower I tilt the tandem steeply toward me. That puts the top tube lower and I can get my leg over the top tube..
