TANDEM Diversity
Tandem Diversity News
December 31, 2025: As 2025 comes to a close in some 8 hours here in the beautiful pacific Northwest, we once again want to thank all our friends and customers and fellow tandem riders/travelers for an excellent, safe, enjoyable, diverse, and educational year. This is the beginning of our first year in many that we are not in the business of selling tandems - feels weird. The thing we fear the most is that we will lose touch with you simply because we no longer have the shop. Please stay in touch. Please continue to bring us your tandem for service (we can't charge for service, but you can reimburse us for the cost of parts and you can participate in the service too!), please continue to ride your tandem and travel with it, and please continue to use us as a resource when appropriate. Happy New Year!
As is the case in most years, I have noted a few memories from our year. Please email if we can help you in any way on your tandem journey in 2026!
April 21, 2026: Wow, it's been a long, dry spell (or should I say wet spell?) since I wrote on the website. We've had, since closing our retail business last fall, a seemingly very long and very wet Winter and Spring. Finally the weather is beginning to cooperate for outdoor riding. BTW, when the weather is less inviting, we try to stay in shape riding Zwift. Neither of us loves it, but we do take advantage of opportunities to keep the conditioning up. Anyway, with the long-awaited arrival of decent outdoor riding weather, this past Sunday we enjoyed one of our annual rites of passage, a round trip ride of 61 miles on the Centennial Trail in Snohomish, Washington. If you click on this link to our Centennial Trail page, you'll see a brief description of riding the trail.
We still enjoy hearing from all of you, offering insights and/or advice is one of our favorite pastimes, and remember that, even though no longer a retail business, I am happy to help with your tandem (or single bike) maintenance, so stay in touch and plan to come by to work on your bike as needed.
And finally, our good friends and role models, Peter and Tracy Flucke, are at it again, riding one of their epic adventures on their Co-Motion tandem. You can read all about it on Peter and Tracy's blog.
