A very light stoker, but not much contribution from her and still a bit too much "dead weight."
Very funny video---thanks, Len!

Greetings, Paul & All---
I believe on either the Touring (Phred) or Tandem list I heard of a fellow who toured much of the West Coast in the fashion you mention, and the experiences he had with the numerous stokers who took turns on his mount made for a most interesting read.
Cheerio,

Several years ago, a fellow showed up at a DBTC ride on a tandem sans stoker. He had a sign affixed to the saddle which said, "Help Wanted".
