Can you ride a tandem?

I thought I'd dig out my tandem, give it a bit of a clean and maybe use it for some distance training with my son.

My wife and I bought it new over 15 years ago and we rode it for a bit on country lanes and off-road (which is a laugh) but it has sat in the garage since having kids.

I have ordered a pair of Schwalbe City tyres and three Lezyne white bottle cages for some longer road rides.  Who knows, my son and I might end up doing the 100km sportive on it :-)
