Tandem Specific Coaching

 


Tandem bicycles take two riders and unifies them into one single machine, tandems require team work and understanding of your partner, the better the two riders work together the more enjoyable and faster it becomes. Contrary to what most people believes tandems can climb, it al depends on the riders fitness levels and ability to work as a team.

At World Cycles we have developed tandem bicycle specific coaching and training techniques.  We have developed power and heart rate based training, and we've refined, improved and tested our techniques by doing several timed climbing events not really suited for a tandem. We use the latest coaching technology available today and we give all of our training programs and instruction via the internet, so you can see and also add your ride data real-time. See some of our events results bellow.
