[Sportsandrec] tandem bicycling in FL

[Bill Kociaba]

Hi annemarie and everyone else who was kind enough to offer advice.
First Annemarie please contact me off list at bill at ycruise.com when you have 
a moment.
I did try contacting the tandem club suggested.  However tehy are at the 
other end of the state and do nothing even remotly near me.  I did shoot 
them an email asking for any suggestions in my area and got no answer..
To Lorie the team you found on bicyclingblind.org was a bit north of my work 
zip which in reality is about 30 miles north of me so not much luck there 
either.   In just calling the local shops and wandering the net I see so 
many options of bikes that I am more lost than when I first started 
inquiring.  Haven't given up yet just don't feel like I have made any 
progress.
Thanks again for all of your efforts on my behalf.
