Clinton from Hertfordhire
|
Alex and his Clinton collected one of our Hertfordshire based Globetrotter tandems in mid-August 2016. Steve, our Helper, wrote, "Photo of Alex and Dad trying out the tandem before taking it.
They want to try it with a trainer first to increase mobility before using it on local roads. Alex is very tall! He makes the 24 inch road frame look like a child's bike." |
Niamh from Evesham
Niamh's Mum, Rachel, collected one of our Gloucestershire based Dawes Discovery tandems in mid-August 2016. Unfortunately Niamh was too small for it. It would have been better if she had attended when her Mum collected the tandem.
Debbie from Shropshire
|
Debbie and her Partner, Glyn, collected our Shropshire based Viking Companion in mid-August 2016. She wrote at the end of November, "Charlotte's Tandems gave me a great opportunity to join in cycling with the rest of my family when my lack of balance meant that I couldn't join them. The two months we had the tandem was great fun and we got out as often as we could. It really helped to build up my fitness, strengthen my legs and every time I went out, I came back feeling worn out, but invigorated by the experience.
We enjoyed it so much that we have been out and bought our own tandem so that we can continue the enjoyment." |
