Mike from Milton Keynes
Mike and his Dad, Steve, have our Hertfordshire based Dawes Kickback tandem. Steve wrote, "Massive thanks for your help with the tandem. Had a great ride today: didn’t know how it would go but Mike loved it.
I swapped the pedals around so Mike's feet were strapped in and added a elastic bungee tie at the back, to prevent him getting his feet out. If you want I can send a photo of that for the other users. I'm pleased I kept it as natural as possible and took the advice not to get a strap seat- gave him a chance!"

Not only have we been able to go faster than ever before and therefore keep up with the rest of the family; but we’ve been able to explore places that Jade has never been able to access before in a heavy wheelchair. Thanks so much to Charlotte’s Tandems for giving Jade (8) her 'best day in years!'”
