Totally random question: This morning on the way to work, I saw someone riding a tandem bike by himself, and he was riding in the back.

If you had to ride a tandem bike by yourself for whatever reason, wouldn't you ride in front?

On a lighter note, have you ever felt your life would be complete if you owned a gold stump? [link]

Every day, man. Every. Day.

On many small two-seat planes with one seat in front of another, if you're flying by yourself you sit in the back seat. I think this is done for center-of-gravity issues. No idea if that would apply to a tandem bike.

On a tandem, the front does the steering and the back is where most of the power comes from, because of where the gears are situated. I think.

Was it Sophia looking for something to do with chicken thighs? This is my favorite chicken thigh recipe.

Not that you really need one. If it's a bone and skin having piece, roasting is the way to go.

But it seems like on a tandem bike, the front wheel would be really wobbly if you were in the rear seat. If you're in the front, the rear wheel would get pulled along.

This was what I was thinking too.

Just got my bloodwork numbers back from the surgeon's office. My protein numbers are in the low end of normal, which is better than I'd expected considering that I have not been taking the protein shake that I'm supposed to so that my protein intake is around the 60 gram/day mark (it's currently around half that). Over the weekend, I had ordered some different flavors (and one unflavor) of protein powder to see if that'll get me to start drinking it.

And, my Vitamin D level is still really low, but also better than I'd expected because I forgot to get my prescription for that filled. About a year ago, that number was 8 (they want it in the 40s), and it's up to 21 now, even without the prescription-strength vitamins. But, I'm picking up the new scrip tonight, as well as getting some OTC vitamin D to supplement the scrip. They'll rerun the bloodwork at my 6-month appointment in May and see if everything looks better.

Most single-seat bikes have the rider's weight divided between the two wheels. On my bike you sit upright, so much more of your weight is on the back wheels. The steering did feel weird and sensitive when I bought it, but I got used to it.

I'm so sorry, although I know you lost your brother two months ago... it's always sudden.

Jesse said exactly what I wanted to. Amyth, I'm so sorry.
