Several couples brought a tandem and single bikes. I think this was because of the deal we had with Air Tahiti for bikes - i.e. bikes were shipped for free. My estimate was that on any given day, it was 90% tandems and 10% singles on the road. The routes set up by the operator are easy and even if there is a climb or two, it is still easy by racing standards. However, in general tandem riders are obsessed by NOT riding hills and hate them. The hills were no big deal and we just scampered up them.

I suspect some riders chose single bikes if they thought there were hills on the ride. For example, we rode around Morea which is 32 miles without a stop sign or traffic light on smooth roads along the ocean with very little car traffic. My wife wants to go back to Morea and do a time trial camp. It was pretty amazing.

You will have a great time.
