Leibowitz, Flo

I'm not a parent, nor a tandem rider. However, I like how OBRA events typically try to be family-friendly. So I think this is a great discussion to have introduced. I have a couple of questions I'd like to hear more from the tandem parents about.

1. Are you ok with youth stoking for mass-start races of any kind, even with you as the captain? What does "youth" mean to you here?
(What if youth stokers were permitted in time trials when the captain is one of his or her parents, but parent-child mass-start teams were restricted to the special case of a designated parent-child field? Is that too restrictive, in your opinion? I gather that many races might not make that special field practical, but some dedicated tandem events and the like might be able to do so.)

2. I love the idea of allowing tagalongs on some time trials. I assume, though, that it'd be better to have a length limit on these, too. I have no idea how practical this field would be for promoters, but I guess that's a separate question.
