Been out on ours a few times since lock-down - the airport 11 mile loop + once to Whitley Bay [30 miles], but need to get new saddles as the Viking ones aren't very comfortable on longer rides.

Thinking of getting an Orbit Velocity e-assist tandem now that we have more time since MrsA_T retired, which will mean selling the Viking.

A few weeks ago (Feb 2025), I was cycling between Samut Songkhram and Cha-Am (south Thailand) when a family of 5 on a tandem overtook me. (I was only tootling along at about 10mph.) I caught up with them a few kilometres up the road, outside a 7 Eleven store where they'd stopped for snacks. The husband is American and lives in China with his Chinese wife and their three kids. They had the tandem made by Oregon-based Co-Motion Cycles and shipped to China. The family had cycled from Bangkok and were heading south (like me), but were not how far south they would go. Very impressive: the bike and family!
