I could fit our tandem in our Subaru Legacy, but that's with the passenger seat crunched forward -- in other words, I couldn't take the other rider with me, only the bike. We bit the bullet and bought a rack to fit on the top. Just yesterday I bought another set for the second tandem -- now we can go places as a family without only having to leave from the front door. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky Please replace earthlink for mouse-potato and .net for .com Home of the meditative cyclist: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] See the books I've set free at: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |

I have an old Schwinn Twinn tandem. My daughter persuaded me to let her take it to school last fall, along with her regular bike, a desktop computer, stereo, clothes, etc. I fit three people and all this stuff inside a Ford Windstar minivan. For the tandem, it was: Fenders off Front wheel and back wheel off Third seat removed. Tandem all the way to the right, so there was some climbing over it if one wanted to get into the second seat. The tandem was upside down, so the handlebars controlled side-to-side motion. This worked OK, but I don't think we are going to repeat this next year. -- --- Mike Kruger Blog: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |
