Responses to the ‘she’s not pedalling’ comment!
PhilP:
Hi all,
We are receiving our second tandem shortly, and so we are likely to start hearing the ‘she’s not pedalling’ comment made by pedestrians, solo riders etc, who have a delusion about their wittiness. For me, this is the most irritating thing about tandem riding, it really bores me. My lady wife stoker is even less impressed.
Please can you advise how you cope with hearing this comment, and what response, if any, you make, either verbal or sign language?
Thanks & happy riding!

On a visit to Yorkshire with the Tandem Club when the TdF came to town, one of my tandem riding friends from Linolnshire observed that:
"If I had a pound for every fucking time I was told she's not pedalling I wouldn't have to fucking pedal"
And I though she was a cultured lady.
T42:
Put her in front. After all, conventional wisdom has it that the stronger rider should stoke.

"Neither are you!"

Tell them to swivel.
