Dave has written, "We’ve been out between 7-10k almost every day since we’ve borrowed this tandem We’ve ditched the car and have taken the bike to and from school and have been out for rides after work I absolutely love that Liam pedals (most of the time)"

Marc and Pippa have been riding one of our Berkshire based tandems from Paris to Milton Keynes.

We've lent out three folding KHS Sausage Dog tandems this week. Jo and Sam have collected ouR Berkshire based one.

John in Berkshire says, "They (Isabelle and Andrew) don't have a car so planned on cycling the tandem back to Canterbury over 4 days! Eventually they hired a van and drove 2 1/2 hours to collect the Pino".

"It's given us the opportunity to go out cycling as a family again. We're hoping to work up to cafe distance, which will be a big motivator for Raphi and all the family! Andy & Lynn from Charlotte's Tandems has been very helpful in helping us get set up and offering advice. "

We've had very few new enquiries in the last few weeks. Please tell others about us and get more people riding our bikes.

Happy Christmas. A misty Boxing Day here in Gloucestershire and lots of people are out on their bikes.
