Jane from Northleach

Jane and her husband, Tom, collected our Gloucestershire based green Thorn Adventurer tandem in mid-August 2021. Jane, wrote a few days later, ""After picking up the tandem on Monday we have been out and about getting used to it. Today we cycled from Northleach to Burford and back (approx 20 miles) and loved it (even the hills!). Tom gets a much better cycle as he doesn’t have to keep stopping and waiting for me and I’m not as worn out afterwards. It’s brilliant that we can now go a bit further instead of always cycling the same usual routes. Exercise is the best thing for Parkinson’s Disease so it feels wonderful to be doing something positive. Thank you so much for the loan of the tandem."

He even tried a bit of one-legged pedaling".
