I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason my mountain bike seems slower these days.

 I commend you, sir.
 Having spent decades as bicycle wrench, raised three kids, none in jail, I remember having 'baby seat' on my loooong wheel base Raleigh(made in Belgium, have in attic, TYVM) 40.75 inch.....
 My oldest son was in seat....as we sweep up wards on long climb...after few minutes..I hear soft voice from behind me....

 For those not knowledgeable about OP, the following 'bike' has 'freewheel', at least ones I've worked on, so follower can just coast. Some high dollar tandems I've worked on have more complicated system that lets stroker(person with no control over where you go and sits behind) can freewheel.
