Rebecca Romijn And Jerry O'Connell Take Tandem TherapyHollywood couple Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have discovered that a bicycle made for two is better than therapy after hitting the Los Angeles streets on a tandem. The soon-to-be-married pair have bought a tandem bicycle and X-Men star Romijn has discovered it's therapeutic hitting the back roads with her beau. She says, "It's so much fun, it's great exercise, it's a nice way to see the scenery... and it's great couple's therapy. "It's teamwork and co-ordination, a little bit of compromise....
