Independant coasting

?? what is this...

well imagine you're pedalling a lot and get tired.. you want to have a rest so you stop pedalling... should the other one stop pedalling as well for you to relax??

Now what if we are going downhill and both want to relax?

Again the one that wants to stop pedalling can be in front or at the rear...

sounds complicated.. but some found a solution... I think there are some better solutions!

A tandem from Sun has an Independant Pedaling System (IPS):

details of the system is yet to be understood... I think there exist freewheels that can be put directly on the crankset...

costs around 200$
I think one should be enough for the stocker (the one behind), as the captain never stops!
