Don't.
I mean, legally speaking, you, as an operator of a vehicle, are not responsible for for things on the roadway that you happen to kick up (as opposed to things that you're carrying/hauling - if you drop something and it causes an accident, you're at fault). Second... you were second wheel and your forward vision was compromised. If I were the guy with the busted rim, I'd be bummed, but I understand that it's one of the risks that we take and I wouldn't fault you at all.

I know that for traditional tandems with rider and stoker being different heights, the taller rider is in front, so probably not.
I'd love to get a tandem for my wife and I, but unfortunately we ride such different sizes that it's hard to find one that would fit both of us well.

Going to make my second double right now. Being out of town for a couple days, and being away from my espresso machine, was tough sledding, 'specially since the only good coffee shop in the downtown area of Duluth is indefinitely closed due to the pandemic.
There were a couple of places that are a step up from Starbucks, but they didn't even open 'til 9am.
Like, WTF? I need coffee to get to 9am.

\Well at least in a normal year when I could actually buy a new one on short notice. And yes, I know I'm lucky I could say that.

I was going to suggest he stop riding plastic frames and hoops, but I think it's too soon.

From the Ministry of Misinformation
As is common knowledge, there is much misinformation these days. This used to be known as lying and was employed to get out of trouble until it was upgraded to misinformation which currently is employed to get others in trouble.
At first there was a humorous side to misinformation such as the claim that putting raw onions in your socks at night would prevent the flu. Then it dawned on certain types, the types that like manipulation and getting others in trouble, that if you could actually get people to put raw onions in their socks you could get a substantial number of people to believe anything and the rest is history.
The sad part of all this is that, on the one hand, a distrust of homeopathic remedies has come about, regardless of merit, and on the other, many tried and true remedies have fallen into disuse and even ridicule. For example, as a Hispanic man, my mom and her mom before her, cooked with garlic just about every day and I can attest that no one in my family has ever been bitten by a vampire. This is an unbroken record for generations into the dim past and thus, solid evidence.
I hope these few comments will cause everyone to pause and reevaluate some of the"information" floating around today. And by the way, I'm considering changing my user name to "Deep Thinker".
