I second the notion of a HubbahHubbah tandem for you guys.
I got my 8 pack from Modernbike.com, as the shops that stock decent racks
are few and far between in these parts. I've had no problems with them, and
they offer free shipping. Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock on

Leah, it sounds like you guys are ready for a tandem. The only significant
difference I can see in his set up is the higher bars. As you raise the
stem the angle of the head tube pushes the handle bars back toward the
seat. The other possibility is your body proportions. Again, can't tell
As to number one, the spec seat tube angle on the Clem is 71.5 and the
Betty Foy 72. To confirm this you can set each bike against a wall next to
