Co-Motion Custom Softride with S and S Couplings

Greg Shepherd's personal tandem. This tandem design includes a stoker seat tube in addition to a Softride stoker beam. When a small child is the stoker, the beam is removed and a conventional seat and post is installed which allows the child to reach the pedals without using a kid stoker kit.

A comment from Greg regarding his tandem

"We also know we never again wanted to hassle with lugging a full-sized tandem through an airport. So, naturally, the S and S couplers were a must...Currently the tandem weighs in at 37 lbs. without pedals, fits like a glove, rides like a dream, converts for the kids and is ready to travel."
