I was once behind Nelson Vails and another strong rider on a tandem at Trexlertown.
He glanced back and noticed me, then yelled Turbo! to him mate and they put the hammer down.
I was dropped in a few seconds.

very nice!
just got back from Mallorca, raced down the Coll de Soller there, couldn't overtake a couple on a tandem before (below) me in the hairpins. So I blasted by them after the roundabout, pedaling like mad on the slightly downhill road just over 60 km/h. a couple of seconds later, they came wooshing past me! I gave up trying to get in their wheel after a couple of pedal strokes, impossible! On the way back up to Bunyola I caught up with them and asked how much they were doing, about 80 km/h they said :-)

What sort of speed could two "commited" riders get out of that down the straight at Herne Hill?
I took my tandem out on one of the road bike nights at HH last year, can't remember what we got it up to but we had some nippy laps
goes off to find garmin log48mph down the straight, 32mph average laps.
Touring tandem, undergeared, flexy as hell, first proper time riding the thing with the stoker. -

I have a figure of about 45-50 mph in my head, but I am not sure what it is based on.
Should be damn good fun though.

thought so.
i guess an ip check will tell.
it really does look completely shit though i expect some naive hipster will buy it at an inflated price all the same
Come on, don't fight over it.
It can be split!
Or ride it together.
Nice thing to ride, I think, but nobody wants to store and transport that.
