A few times of shrieking in his ear will learn him right quick. Ditto on the bumps (if yours doesn't have a special trampoline seatpost). I've broken in several captains, and I am the world's best captain myself at notification of road surface and so forth. (I even say "bump" to my auto passengers!) > o Our speed was totally kick ass.

The Rear Admiral position can get boring, and if you have your own buttons to push you can do mental calculations or announce the details to all the singles drafting you. On my tandems we each have a computer, and it's funny to see that the rear of the Counterpoint travels further than the front. > o I'm close enough to him to *smell* him.

Stuff the cue sheets in there too, or get a hunter's license holder for the back of his jersey. Captains are good for more than just driving. HTH --Karen M. so what kind is it? Photos??? |
