The TAndem Book
The Tandem Book is an introduction for couples on the basics of enjoying a tandem. The Tandem Book was first publish in 1997 and only printed once. Carla and I cover all aspect of tandem riding from dogs to to hot dogs. Learn how to go on your first ride, how to ride with children and how to go touring.

Angel Rodriguez, a professional frame builder, built his first tandem in 1977. Test riding it one afternoon he rode it home alone and his next door neighbor, Carla Black, was sitting on her doorstep and when he rode by she asked him “Who are you going to find to ride that little tandem with?” The two have been riding tandems together ever since.

Angel, former owner of R+E Cycles, a popular Seattle, WA bicycle shop went on to build hundreds of custom tandems. Carla worked for the City of Seattle as an assistant bicycle coordinator.

They rode a tandem across the US in 1980 and have ridden up and down both coast and in dozens of cross-state rides since, logging thousands of miles on their tandems.
