Back in the 1970's when I was racing we bought a Motobecane tandem bike and put a lot of miles on it. When the ship I was on was in port in San Diego my wife and I rode it to work at the 32nd Street Naval Station. Did the Rosarito to Ensenada and Tecate to Ensenada bike rides half a dozen each. The note about watching speed is right on as the gut that ran the Chula Vista Schwinn bike shop crashed on the long down hill coming out of the mountains to the coast above Ensenada and slide nearly a QUARTER of a mile! He didn't break any bones but it took a year for the road rash to heal.
