[Sportsandrec] tandum bike?

[Bill Kociaba]

Hay Fred,
I've done a little checking and there are tons of bike shops in my area but 
with the exception of just one they all said they could order anything I 
wanted but had nothing or maybe one in stock.  So doing lots of test rides 
isn't going to be that easy.  Can you give me some suggestions to narrow the 
process?  I at this point am looking for something simple and inexpensive. 
Really not sure if its something my wife and I will get into.  I am a 
fittness adict and do tons of weight training and cardio the bike is more 
for something she and I can share.  If it turns out that we really get into 
it I can always upgrade just don't want to go too high in the beginning and 
have it be wasted.
I looked online and see tons of different bikes and have no clue what is 
what.  Again any suggestions to narrow the process would be great.
Thanks
Bill
