Some of the reasons I didn't want to become a bike rider:
1. I didn't want to wear a helmet because it would mess my hair up (I know, I'm vain).
2. I didn't want to wear tight fitting spandex clothing (I know, I'm vain). And,
3. I don't like to sweat!
After 2 years of trying to talk me into buying the bike, taking a vacation where we rented a tandem to see how I liked it, turning 40 and seeing my cholesterol levels starting to climb, Clay finally wore me down and I agreed to spend the "small" fortune to buy a Cannondale tandem bicycle. What did I get myself into? Would I really like riding a tandem? Would I stick with it? These are some of the thoughts I had swirling around in my mind after we had ordered the bike. There was no turning back! I had committed myself to this impending torture!!
Eventually, the day came when the bike arrived and my life was forever changed. I knew I was going to like riding the tandem when I read the manual that came with the bike. It stated that it was the Captains (Clay) job to make the Stoker (me) happy!! Hallelujah, I had it in writing!!!
