I don't have experiences with a tandem either, but would always go on 2 separate bikes - except for you are planning to stay together for the rest of your life. if you know what i mean...

Hi Andreas,
I disagree. I would recommend trying the tandem with his friend on a shorter tour of ca. 150km, then it should be quite obvious if a tandem is the thing for him.
I have two tandems (touring and race) and although my friend and I are a good team and we use the tandem for vacation as well as for getting around in town together, it is also great fun to ride with other stokers, for speed, race etc., and I do this quite often (my friend does not race).

only my 2c
