The tandem bike is I guess the equivalent of Bujold’s Beta Colony earring code, e.g. the quote ”I am in a monogamous relationship, do not embarrass us both by even asking“ which is kind of ironic as people like to say that a tandem is a divorce machine.

Getting a tandem bike is like taking on other challenging things, either it helps you bond or it exposes fractures that have been covered over… (+1 for the Bujold reference!)
