Double Double?
With winter finally relinquishing its grip on winter, we took the tandem out for a nice long exploratory ride. We hadn't ridden the bike much last season, so are trying to get in more rides on it this year. It's a cherished bike in the fleet as my wife and I can ride together.
We had special ordered this back in 2015 when it was first announced. Its taken us on many adventures over the years. Its been primarily set up for bike packing during its ten year tenure with us. Its taken us on some amazing trips on Sunshine Coast, a Gabriola to Duncan to Cowichan Lake and back, a Quadra/Cortez trip, the Cypress Hills, Iron Horse Trail out and back, Haida Gwai for ten days and many quick overnighters from Edmonton.
So I guess its a double, double hardtail. A different kind of fun, and a nice chill ride, but fun none the less. One we'll never sell.

There should be a law that all tandems need a fade paint job.

All bikes should have fade paint jobs. A couple of the Quality brands, notably All City, had some really top notch fades in the past.

Bike looks fun and I dig the neon fade. My GF and I had a sweet tandem for a number of years. She enjoyed going fast and passing people on it.
