Chase from Chinnor
Chase and his Mum, Donna, collected our Oxford based Viking Timber Trail tandem in mid-September 2021. His Mum, Donna, wrote on Instagram, "Absolutely fantastic discovery! Chase has been struggling to learn how to ride a bike. We even paid a professional but I guess if you are missing the part of your brain that controls your balance, it’s never going to be easy.
@charlottestandems is a charity that enables children with a disability to borrow a tandem and experience riding a bike with the added support.
Chase has had the best time this morning and we get to borrow the tandem for 2 months. Thanks so much for enabling us to finally go on a family bike ride. Such a special day for us!".
