  1. I used to ride tandem.

    The tandem commnets are usually:

    (Sings) "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do..." (they usually don't
    know the rest of the words.)

    "Can you ride tandem?" (UK readers of a certain age will remember a PG
    Tips advert where the chimpanzee used this memorable chat up line to
    the lady chimpanzee who gave him a refreshing cup of tea after he fell
    off his bicycle.)

    "Can you ride A tandem?" (From those who inaccurately remember the PG
    Tips advert.)

    "She's not pedalling." (Assuming the stoker to be female, of course.)

    The Siamese unicycle comment is, in my experience, unique. I think we
    once had a "double decker unicycle" comment, but that probably came up
    in a conversation between tandemists.

  2. My favorite comment when I come across tandem riders is this: "Well, at
    least you've got the "wheels to riders" ratio correct."

    And those who don't remember it can see it here (it's the PG Tips Tour
    de France ad):

    Completely OT: the best thing about this site was that I found my
    favourite advert of all time, which I'd been longing to see again for
    over 20 years. When I saw it, I was surprised to recognise Stephen Fry
    and Tim McInnery. It's the Whitbread Best ad on the T-Z page.
