"Why is this couple so cute? The answer, after the jump!**** Down my block, I always noticed a bright red tandem bike parked on the sidewalk. This wouldn&amp;#x27;t be that weird if I didn&amp;#x27;t live in New York City. Riding a tandem down busy city streets? Dodging pedestrians? Zipping past cabs and wheezing buses? I had to find out who this brave couple was! So I left a post-it note on the seat of the tandem, and three days later, I was shaking hands with the tandem-riding twosome: Brendan, a 30-year-old photographer, and Francesca, a 20-year-old model. Here&amp;#x27;s what they had to say... Where did you find the tandem? Fran: The Antique Mall in Ithaca, where Brendan grew up. Brendan: It&amp;#x27;s one of the best places in the whole world. Were you so psyched? Fran: I desperately wanted it. Brendan wasn&amp;#x27;t sure how we&amp;#x27;d get it back. The guys helped us take it apart. Do you like riding it? Brendan: Yes, I have to be in the front because I&amp;#x27;m heavier. Fran: It&amp;#x27;s nice because you can talk. You&amp;#x27;re never separated by traffic. Is it unwieldy in the city streets? Brendan: It&amp;#x27;s almost safer. You have two heads to look around and spot danger. Do people make comments as you ride by? Fran: Some people say, &amp;quot;Oh, cute.&amp;quot; Brendan: Everyone says, &amp;quot;Oh, cute.&amp;quot; Aren&amp;#x27;t they adorable? Have you ever ridden a tandem? Would you ride one in the city? It&amp;#x27;s kind of wobbly but very fun, and if you sit in the back, you can just admire the views!
