Hello from SLC, UT!
Hi all,
I thought I would introduce myself, My name is Brian, I joined this forum since I purchased an older Tandem bike locally, This was the only forum I found any information about it and that was only one thread... Anyhow, Its a Composite Art and Science tandem, I liked it and everything seemed to be in very nice shape, It obviously need some of the consumable items replaced, Like tires and tubes, But other than that it seems to be a nice ride!
My plans for it? My daughter who is Visually Impaired and I are starting our training for the Salt Lake Marathons Bike Tour, We will bike the course that the Marathon take, This coming April.
I'm more of a distance runner, But I sure enjoy biking, I have two other Mountain Bikes, I mainly use for commuting once or twice a week and it's a great way to enjoy time with the family, I wonder if I should pick up swimming and give Triathlons a shot?!?
Have a great week!
Brian

Welcome aboard 
It's cool that you managed to find a rig that (hopefully) fits the both of you.

Welcome!
Tandems are their very own circus act!
Enjoy!
And you can take up Triathlons (as long as you don't make everyone suffer through listening to your training regiment or what you ate the past week!) Hahahaa.... I say this only because I trained and did my first Triathlon a couple of years ago but quickly fell out of love with the sport because so many participants are insufferable with telling you all about their regime or their diet or their times, or their body fat index, or their bricks......... (Narcissism reigns widely.)

Thank you, I totally understand where you are coming from, I'm an ultra runner, we like to talk about toenails and other foot issues, I'm not a swimmer, so it would take quite a bit to get me doing Tri's.
Have a great week!
