The Tandem Book, written by tandem experts Angel Rodriguez and Carla Black, covers all aspects of riding a tandem, including detailed chapters on buying a tandem, maintenance and repair, tandem... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The Tandem Book is a well-rounded volume and satisfies those interested into "getting into" tandeming as well as those already part of a team. It fills a gap left behind since "The Tandem Scoop" was published. Still both books can stand to be refreshed, expanded and re-released. It is obvious authors Rodriquez and Black are knowledgeable and share a passion for tandems. The love for the the sport, notwithstanding, I wish to have learned more of the passion side of tandeming. As most teams realize, tandeming is not so much cycling as it is being together, communicating, playing hard and reaching goals. THIS is more of the kind of stuff I wanted to read. The photographs and write-ups of tandem teams and their equipment was compelling and inspirational. Angel and Carla related a few anecdotes of their tandeming adventures. I enjoyed them and expected even more stories. Again, tandeming is about fun. The best thing that could happen with this book is the next edition where the authors could explore the subjects even deeper. More about exceptional tandem teams. More about their own experiences. More inspiration. The book is a worthy read. Need to see the sequel.
