Bicycling opened up a new perspective on human powered travel for me. Traveling more miles in less time and adding an element of technicality and exhilaration to the downhill, it offers an unique experience in familiar and new areas alike. I spend a lot of time mountain biking on my own (although I love to ride with friends when the opportunity presents itself), but I always do my road biking with my partner. Mark and I took up tandem cycling as a way to enjoy the sport while keeping pace with one another and quickly discovered the many benefits of the double bike!
