That's how my friends made it work, they had the same cadence. The captain was a good, not great climber on a single and the stoker was one of the best climbers I knew then. On the tandem they meshed so well they could drop great climbers on double centuries and other timed events.
They finished first on some local events.
The story of Joe Breeze and Otis Guy on a tandem was similar.

A few years ago, my wife and I were at a tandem rally near Huntsville, AL and went up a steep short climb on our tandem. The next morning, a local came up and asked if we knew that we had taken the KOM on Strava.
I'm sure the local single bikes were out on that climb the next day to make sure that their KOM was back in their grasp.

If I cut the rjones28 area lawns at 0.5 to 1.5 inches with a reel mower three time a week, I'd never have time to do anything else.

RIP Wildcats. At least it took Vanderbilt 12 innings to beat 'em.

Guess I'd better get out there and mow the two front lawns before it gets any hotter.

I didn't go there very much, as with the exception of a couple years, I lived on the other side of town. But it was bad enough seeing how dilapidated the now-demolished mall became.
But even worse, at the end of the video they found several photo albums in the mall security office with pictures of the mall in it's heyday ('80s-'90s). They showed the mall full of people, and different types of holiday/community events. It was kind of sad thinking about how we're never going to see that kind of thing again.

Theoretically, they should be faster everywhere. The power of 2 riders with the aero resistance of 1 (almost) and the bike weight can be a non factor. The problem with getting 2 great climbers on a tandem is they may prefer different cadences and have different ways of dishing out the power.
That's how my friends made it work, they had the same cadence. The captain was a good, not great climber on a single and the stoker was one of the best climbers I knew then. On the tandem they meshed so well they could drop great climbers on double centuries and other timed events.

One more reason not to be me. I have to cut 90 of these for me plus 50 Pet Meds for little Roscoe. If we can put a man on the moon...
