Take the 2-minute tour ×  My wife and I recently rented a tandem
for a day. I found that, because everything needs to be
communicated -- starting, stopping, changes in cadence, shifting
(which might cause changes in cadence), etc. -- we were talking
continuously. This was good.  What I would like to have is a
simple, efficient vocabulary for communicating the essential
information. Does this already exist in the same way that riders
communicate on group rides?  While I realize that we could just
make up our own shorthand, if someone has already figured it
out, that would be better.  share|improve this question  2
Answers 2  up vote 4 down vote accepted  I posted a link to this
question to the Bike Friday Yak list - tandem riding is popular
there - and got back a few responses, this one in particular.
I'm posting this here simply because nobody else seems to have
an answer; If this isn't typical, please feel free to edit this
answer.  A standard signalling vocabulary seems to not exist.
