Jan, Not so much for safety but the one place where I will insist on standover clearance is on a tandem. I don't feel at all comfortable trying to hold the bike for the stoker to mount while I have a foot off the ground. I agree completely about toe overlap, and it's a worse hazard for me on the tandem because a) there are more times I'm going slow enough for it to be an issue and b) the captain doesn't complete control of the pedals on most tandems. I realize that bringing up tandems on RBW may not be completely on-topic but they're definitely bicycles and there are some people here other than Jan and me who ride them. -Ken --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
