My brother Joseph and I rented a tandem bike and took a two hour ride today. It was one of the funnest things I've ever done.
At first we had a little trouble because it's hard to coordinate the leaning, and if the person in the back tries to steer, it moves the seat of the person in the front--the handlebars are attached to the seat.
After a while, we got pretty good at it. We were speeding around campus, waving and everyone. So many people did a half smile as we rode by, trying not to let us see that they were smiling from amusement. We would wave, and they couldn't hold it back. It was great. Tandem bikes are just funny. Who can help but smile when you see one?
Our greatest feat was to ride up the ramp that goes from behind the Smith Fieldhouse up to campus. You know, the one that we used to walk up coming from the Villa. We were so proud of ourselves.
It only costs $6.50 an hour to rent one, and only $20 for the day from Outdoors Unlimited. I highly recommend it.

Not that I wouldn't love to hear your melodious voice, but the details are simple, and are as follows:
Go to Outdoors Unlimited.
Tell them you want to rent a tandem bike.
Pay for however many hours/days you want.
Ride the bike.
Return the bike.
No no no no no. Not those kind of details . . .
Just call me so I can explain. I tried calling you, but the phone number I have doesn't work.
did you sing the bicycle built for two song?
No, because it talks about being in love, and I'm not in love with my brother.
