Sasha and her Dad, Mat, collected our Leicester based Bike Friday tandem at the end of 2016. Mat posted a video of them in action on their first ride, on our Facebook site. He wrote, "We rode maybe half a mile to the local swimming pool, had a swim and rode back, with Sasha's younger brother riding behind keeping an eye on her.
I'm surprised how well Sasha has taken to it. Her balance was amazing."

Martin and his Partner, Charlie, collected our Hertfordshire based Viking Valhalla tandem in mid-December 2016. They took it back home with them on the train. Charlie wrote, "We had another practice on Wednesday night in our local park and are getting better at starting. We can now do it without needing a kerb so that's a step forward (for me anyway!). Also had a bit of a play with the gears and going round some corners! We are going to practice another couple of times in the park and then try and take it out on some quiet local roads to see how we do with junctions and starting quickly at lights."
Chris from Shrewsbury
Chris collected our West Midlands based Claud Butler tandem in mid-December 2016. On our Facebook site he wrote, "My first experience of riding a tandem was an odd feeling due to the lack of control. But, it was nice to be able to go cycling again. I mostly cycled round the Shrewsbury cycle routes and the Quarry Park."
