Molly from Alfreton, Derbyshire
Molly swapped our Leicester based Dawes Galaxy for one of our Leicester Orbita tandems in April 2015. She wrote in September 2015, "I've not had much chance to use the tandem (it's dependent on having someone who can ride it with me, transporting it if necessary, time and good weather!), but I've been getting on really well with it and it's really good."
James from Dingwall
James has been riding our Highland based Viking Valhalla tandem at school with his Teacher, Will.
Charlie from Shropshire
Charlie and Tracy collected our Shropshire based Dawes Super Galaxy tandem in late April 2015.
Gaynor from Fishguard
Gaynor collected, in mid-April 2015, our Pembrokeshire based Raleigh U+1 tandem, which is Charlotte's original tandem. She returned it in mid-May 2015, as she can now ride her own bike.
Elliot from Bristol
Elliot's parents collected one of our Dursley based Thorn Kiddyback tandems in mid-April 2015. Louise wrote the day after collecting it, "It was so lovely meeting you yesterday. Thank you so much for all your advice and help it was sincerely appreciated.
I had a practice this morning with my older son and then this afternoon we had our maiden voyage with Elliot. Initially he was terrified but within 5 minutes, as long as we pedaled slowly, he started to enjoy it and, by the time we came back, he was very relaxed and was chatting to his 'baby' who was strapped on the back! We think it went really well and believe the type of handlebars really helped to make him feel more secure."

Matthew from Surrey
Matthew's Dad collected our Surrey based Viking Saratoga tandem in mid-April 2015. Here is Matthew and his Mum, Katherine, on the same afternoon. She wrote, "It's brilliant - thank you! We needed to tweak it a bit but after a while he declared 'we need to do this more often!'"
His family friends have been out for rides together and put lots of extra photos on our Facebook site.

Russell from Kent
Russell and his Fiancee, Emms, collected our London based Konnekt2 tandem in mid-April 2015.
Roy from Shrewsbury
Roy and his wife, Jenny, collected our West Midlands based Claud Butler tandem in mid-April 2015. Soon after they collected it, Jenny updated us with, "Just 2 more falls and an agreement that Roy would only look at my back and not where we were going (to stop him trying to influence our path) saw us make real progress! We can now start, ride and stop, without potentially disastrous consequences! Tomorrow, we shall venture a bit further - wish us luck!"
They bought their own Viking Regency tandem after returning ours.

Philip from Frocester, Gloucestershire
Philip and his Carer, Teresa, have had the Gloucestershire based Newton Dawes tandem trike since early April 2015.
Owen from Widnes
Owen and his Dad, Spencer, collected one of our Cheshire based Viking Companion tandems in early April 2015. Owen had previously borrowed a tag-along from us. Our Cheshire Helper, Brian, wrote on Facebook, "Owen was unsure about this bike but cheered up for the camera, when he saw a motorhome parked next to it. Spencer is going to send us a few lines on how they get on with this Viking tandem; appropriately they come from Widnes, the home of The Vikings".
Owen's Mum wrote on return of the tandem in mid-June 2015, "Thank you so much for lending us the tandem. Owen had lots of fun. Here they are practising going up hill!"
