tandem bicycles San Francisco Bay Area

We'd like to connect with tandem bicycle owners (and tandem lovers if not owners) in and around San Francisco.

Let's share our enthusiasm and experiences, swap tips and advice, and of course meet up!

As it happens, we founders of this tandem Meetup group are not car drivers. This means that when we go out the door, it is not to load the tandem on the roof of the car and drive to a bike path; when we go out the door, we're tandeming—on city streets, though probably on our way to a reachable bike path. (Of course, there's BART as well.) But this simply happens to be our situation. Whether you are car-driving or not, if you ride a tandem in or around San Francisco--or WANT to--we'd love to welcome you to this Meetup group.

First things first: let's meet. Join our group, won't you? Even if you're living afar but have left your heart in the right place, you can join us.

Enjoy it all, and remember that (so we think) THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS, AT ALL TIMES, TO KEEP THE STOKER HAPPY.

Tom and Christine

"Sounds like fun, we will try to make it. One warning is that the bike lane on the bridge is closed until April 1. This makes riding across on a tandem a lot less fun since you are fighting pedestrians and runners."

"This sounds like a delightful event. I would need to be back at my car by 12:45. Will the ride be done by then? As I understand it, we would start from Ft. Mason and end at the Embarcadero, so we would have to get ourselves back to Ft...."
