  if the tires are wide, it's probably fine. just make sure you've got low gearing. soem people are pedaling huge contraptions with low enough gearing and WIDE tires.
  
  got a pic of the proposed ride?

      We took one last year, its a Worksman tandem which is heavy but managable. Unfortunately last year was a bad year for any bike due to the dunes. Daytime riding was ok but it was tough to manuver at night through the crowds.

        I thrashed a brand new trike last year in the first 100 yards of trying to ride. Sheared the pins in the tranny trying to get through the playa dust. Have a beach cruiser for stand by but was hoping a tandem might also work. Probably will walk again if the playa isn't any better. Thanks for all the tips.
