Nicky from Flintshire
Nicky and his friend Tim collected our Cheshire based Viking Pink Link tandem in mid-February 2019. Brian, our Cheshire Helper wrote on our Facebook site, "Vision Support Chester are a charity who refer V I folk to us. Nicky and his pilot Tim recently experienced something different in Amsterdam when they rode a tandem for the 1st time. They enjoyed it so much they came to collect our Cheshire Viking tandem in a rather fetching Pink."
Helen from Bebington
Helen and her husband, James, collected our Cheshire based Burley Samba tandem in mid-February 2019. More details and a photo are to follow.
Rob from Nottingham
Rob and his friend, Mike, collected our Leicester based Bike Friday tandem in mid-February 2019. Our Helper, Peter, wrote on Facebook, "This was their second ride after a interesting start on the first when Rob instinctively steered from the back. He hasn’t ridden on two wheels since his days in full time education. It is great to think that Charlotte’s Tandems enables him to start cycling again.The Bike Friday is a very comfortable ride and not in the least unwieldy. The small wheels and ability to separate the frame into two make it very practicable, too. This tandem will be taken by car from Nottingham to the Tissington Trail at Ashbourne very soon!"
Steve from Torquay
Steve collected our Devon based Dawes tandem in mid-February 2019. More details and a photo are to follow.
Reuben from Cobham
Reuben and his Mum, Claire, collected one of our Surrey based Viking tandems in early 2019. In mid-February Claire wrote, "Just thought you might like to see some photos of Reuben doing his bikeability. He has had the most brilliant week with two amazing instructors from Surrey CC team. They finish today. Hopefully both he and his pilot - the lovely Mr G from school - will get their badges this afternoon!
We can’t thank you enough for the loan of the bike. It has given Roo such a boost and we can’t wait to now get out and cycle as a family for the first time in over 18 months! More photos to follow I am sure."

Toby from Much Wenlock
Toby and his Dad, Gary, have had our Shropshire based Viking Companion tandem since New Years Day 2019. Gary wrote, "I have cycled with Ray (our Shropshire Helper) many times as a friend and he has always been trying to get my boy Toby to have a go on one of your tandems. Up until now Toby would not have been able to do this and has been reluctant to try. However Ray's persistence and patience has eventually paid off and we got Toby on the back. Needless to say he loved it!
What a great scheme!!! We will be sharing this with all of the groups the Toby is a involved with and hopefully spreading the word!"
