Tandem

NOT EASY

What else to do then to ride bikes there? So we all rode bikes around with my dad and uncle riding the 3 seater tandem bikes. It aint easy to do so.

Physics lesson cut short: When riding, you tend to sway slowly from left 2 right as you need more power to paddle due to the extra weight. THIS EXTRA WEIGHT of riders behind you have inertia that causes their weight to contribute as a force swaying side to side. As such, not only is cycling difficult, maintaining control is tough too. Worst, we were going up and down slopes.... This is the result:
