when I was nearly a teenager, Mom and Dad Fortlage bought the tandem from the bike shop on Santa Cruz Ave. Growing up, I wasn't much a part of the tandem legacy, but my brother and sisters have lots of great memories. Somehow the Fortlage tandem made its way to Texas.
So-the family came to town over Memorial Day. Jeremiah brought a carload of bike accessories, including a shiny new wheel for the tandem.
Saturday morning we ate breakfast tacos at the park and biked on the Riverwalk extension. There were 10 bicycles, 2 bike trailers, 2 strollers with babies, and the tandem..
Really, you need herculean legs to peddle the old Schwinn- it works to pull a baby or 2 in the trailer.
We're building bicycle memories around here. . .and I love the tandem connection.
