Comfort for me and my bride was and is very important. To that end I've had a custom seat and backrests made. They fit like a glove, and enable my wife to sleep if she likes! I knew it was important for her to be comfortable so, we went through several foot board options until she was happy... I added heated gear for her and a bluetooth so we could talk while riding. Now most of the time when I'm commuting I am on my own, but when the opportunity arises I really want her comfortable and feeling safe.
