Matthew Tevnan and Harry Missing, seniors on the UVM men's rugby team, have become a familiar sight on campus, riding their tandem bike to class and rugby practice.
"Never tandem alone"
The two met in their first year and became roommates in their junior year. The idea for the tandem bike was born when they were sitting at their dining room table, thinking it would be fun to ride a tandem bike to class and practice. They found the bike on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.
Missing and Tevnan have a consistent riding arrangement, with Missing always in the front and Tevnan in the back. According to Tevnan,
"It takes a real mastermind to be in the back, so I don't really want to put it in his hands".
The duo rides their tandem bike to various locations, including class, rugby practice, and off-campus spots like the YMCA.
