We’ve all heard it – “She’s not pedaling!” I actually like to hear that. At least people see us on the road. I usually say something like, “You mean I need to pedal too?!!!” or “SHHH! He didn’t know!” But I also keep track of what other things people have said to us on the bike. Here are some of my favorites:

• “Hey, bet you’ve never heard this before — he’s not pedaling!”
• “The one who’s pedaling is the stupid one.”
• “The stoker’s always right!”
• “My wife doesn’t love me enough to do that!”
• “That’s the life!”
• “You’re cheating!”
• “She’s gaining on you!”
• “Hey, your bikes are glued together!”
• When we were in Australia we heard, “Mate, the girl in the back’s not pedaling!” (Mike liked being called “Mate” and I liked being called a “girl”.)
• Here’s my favorite: “Get a room, you two! Get a room!”

If you have any favorites that are not on this list, email them to adventuresintandem@gmail.com or post them on our Facebook page. Maybe we will make these into a word cloud.

• Pedal faster, she’s still right behind you!

And how about some great responses to “She’s not pedaling”:

• Neither am I and I don’t know what’s making this thing go.
