My wife and I did a couple of tandem tours throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. By far the most comments we had were in the UK, the most common being: “she’s not pedalling!” jokingly informing me that my wife who sits at the back isn’t doing her part. The amount of comments were nowhere close what the author describes, and I can’t recall any negative comments. Just humorous ones. I guess a tandem isn’t as uncommon / funny as a unicycle.
