Two grown men riding a tandem bike together is not weird

r/

To the charming teenage lads in the city centre today who found it necessary to shout otherwise, cheers for the commentary, but we’re just two friends sharing legwork and wind resistance. Not everything with two seats is a romance. Sometimes it’s just transport.

Grow up, pedal on, and try doing something that requires coordination and trust before mocking it.

And we looked great.

    It’s weird, but who cares? Why does everyone have to hate on things that are weird?

    Caring about the opinion of random teenagers is wild.

    No one cares if you are gay, it’s 2025.

    Perhaps the most random unpopular opinion yet.

    I’ve seen a tandem bike maybe 3 times in my whole life. I think anyone riding a tandem bike is weird. Nothing wrong with it but to claim that it’s not weird is just a lie.

    If you have to say it’s not weird it’s probably weird.

    Uh…that’s pretty gay.

     

    You may not think so, but those imply romance to most people. There’s an old song:

     

    “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.

    I’m half crazy, all for the love of you.

    It won’t be a stylish marriage.

    I can’t afford a carriage,

    But you’ll look sweet upon the seat,

    Of a bicycle built for two!”

    Anyone on a tandem bike is weird.

    Next time just hetereo it up with one of those bar bikes if you’re afraid of teenagers calling you gay.

    I agree, tandem away my friend.

    I mean it’s not at all common, so weird in that sense, and I’d say there’s definitely some low level intimacy to a tandem bike. Totally unrpsrised you got chirped by teenagers.

    But as I’m writing this I realize literally no friend of mine would not laugh at me if I asked them to ride a tandem bike through the city together. Just ride your own bikes.
