Tandem riding, for the most part, is about having fun. Whether you're riding with your children, spouse, or just a good friend, a tandem equalizes the abilities of the riders and makes the ride more about the experience. At R+E Cycles, we have 35 years of designing, building and riding tandems behind us. This has given us a broad range of experience which enables us to create the perfect tandem for you. I've always said that when you buy a bike, you're also buying a relationship with the shop and the manufacturer of your bike. This is especially true with tandems. We go to great lengths to incorporate components that will be reliable, and durable for tandem use. This means that the 'latest and greatest' (according to slick advertising campaigns anyway) fall by the wayside sometimes to make way for the 'tried and true'. When you take a personalized test ride with us, you'll see why RODRIGUEZ tandems have stood the test of time! Comfort is the key to a good tandem. If the fit isn't comfortable, it doesn't matter what the components are. At R+E Cycles, comfort is key that drives the design. We strive to achieve the perfect fit for each of you and the proper level of "cush" depending on your needs. The Rodriguez Toucan tandems have all of that 'hand-built' quality that you've come to know us for, and are an excellent value. Like all Rodriguez bikes, every Toucan tandem is handbuilt, one at a time, right here in Seattle. We guarantee fit and fun on every one. All Toucan Tandems are custom sized. Select from 700c or 26" wheels. 4 stock paint options or custom paint colors for just $200 extra, and 5 different decal styles. Wow! That's a lot of different options. The Toucan comes in standard, and a travel version. The travel version uses the same S&S couplings as the Houdini and W2 Adventure to pack down easily into two 26"X26" airline standard suitcases. 4 stock color options make our 2009 tandem line one of the most fun ever!
Rohloff SpeedhubThis year, we've added a Rohloff drive version of the Toucan tandem. We've developed a clean way of incorporating this unique design into a versatile tandem bike. We've been hand crafting tandem bikes right here in Seattle, U.S.A. since 1973. Our bikes are unique as our customers... they love our bikes, and we love them!
