Stoker's Hub
Stokers, by definition, pedal from the rear seat of the tandem, adding power, making the bike go faster and farther. This is the position for visually impaired cyclists. The cyclist in the front seat, the captain, controls the steering, shifting, and braking.

My most epic ride was La Ruta de los Conquistadores, a coast-to-coast, mountain bike stage race in Costa Rica. It was the wickedest ride, but one I will cherish forever. Cycling is a fix for my need for speed.
