my sister and i want to tandem regularly, we had cycled for years until my being registered visually impaired a few years ago... recently we realised a tandem would work for us, but have searched ebay, gumtree etc for inspirational research into various types, we know that a touring bike is what we need, but found all proportions to be size specific and that we need to be back to front from the usual ratio... they all seem to require a human up to five feet eight at the back and up to six feet one at the front!
i, the visually impaired one stand at five feet ten in stockinged feet and therefore need to sit at the back, my sister is five feet eight and would be at the front... would really appreciate some advice and perhaps direction to a bicycle coop who build to spec. thanks, kim (and karen)
