  1. Hi Folks -- I had been begging my wife to let me buy a tamdem
    recumbent for about 10 years. A year ago last April she let me buy
    one. I do own a Vision VR40 that I have been riding for about 6
    years. (USS, SWB). I wanted to buy a Vision Tandem, but they quit
    making them a few months before I was ready to buy. I ended up buying
    a Rans Screamer. About two weeks after we bought it, I suffered a
    serious injury that prevented me from riding bicycle until last
    November.
    Spring came and we started riding again. I didn't like the fit of the
    Rans at first until I finally got it adjusted to my liking. I would
    have preferred USS, but it was not available on the Rans.
    We love tandem riding. Easy to converse, great equalizer so that we
    are always together, and we are faster than when we ride separately.
    There is a period of getting used to each other and getting to be
    compatable with each others riding styles. Some advice that I got
    from a website - "The Stoker is never wrong".
    The bike works very well and we are happy.
    Two days ago, we rode 40 miles in 2 hours and 45 minutes. This was
    on a rail line converted to bike trail. We are not youngsters! Today
    we are celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary.
    If anyone has any questions, we will try to answer them.
    Happy Cycling - Dex and Jan Henschel - Minnesota.

    Happy anniversary, Dex, and many more!
