Based in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales village of Gargrave, JD Tandems have created a dynamic and relaxing environment in which to purchase a new tandem or to see if tandem riding is for you. Surrounded by stunning countryside and good accommodation why not make your visit an overnight stay, see Where to Stay for accommodation locally that has been recommended by our customers.

Fed up of cycling 50 yards behind your partner? Don’t get left behind. Try one of our Discover Tandeming Days. Costing just £50 for the day, this is redeemable against the purchase of a new tandem.
We have tandems available to test ride from 6 different manufacturers.
Our exclusive brands include Santana (probably the best tandem manufacturer in the World). Orbit - we purchased the Orbit tandem brand back in 2006, and we now have over 10 models to choose from, all of which are built in Gargrave.
We have test ride models of every brand we sell and these include as well as Santana and Orbit, Hase, Santos, Ventana and Dawes.
In addition to our fantastic range of tandems we have a great choice of tandem accessories and components, these are available to buy in store or mail order. We also have a vast array of wheels nearly all of which are hand built to order at our shop in Gargrave.
Our opening times vary according to the time of the year, so please check Opening Times for further details.

Charlotte's Tandems
JD Tandems are proud to be associated with this great charity, Charlotte's Tandems. They lend tandems to (and only to) people with disabilities or special needs for free, who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own, so that they can enjoy the wonders of cycling. The borrowers are both children and adults. Tandems are a fun and safe way to get out and about as friends, a couple, family or group.

If you would like to borrow one or have a tandem or components to donate then please contact them.

Canals, cheese, cherries, cycles – a family tandem tour in Holland
**UPDATEDOur son hits six years old – so it must be time for our first proper family cycling tour. The set up is, a Dawes Kalantar tandem with kiddie cranks fitted to the back, for Dad and son, and me (mum) trailing along behind on my trusty solo. We have a bob trailer, a veteran of 200 miles round New Zealand’s south island, for our luggage. In theory the trailer can go behind either bike, but in practice, on the flat cycle paths of Holland, it goes behind the tandem, creating a very long vehicle that hangs out over tram tracks at junctions in towns!

Cycling Back to Gargrave
**UPDATEDIt all seemed so easy in theory – well perhaps not so easy. The idea was to do parts of the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway in a loop from home in Middlesbrough, in the process returning our new Orbit tandem to JD Tandems for its first service, requiring only a modest diversion to Gargrave. This was also to be our first retirement adventure to be enjoyed whilst the September weather and early autumn colours would add to the experience. The planned route from home took in Richmond, then Swaledale before crossing over to Wensleydale to stay the second night in Hawes. From there we would go via Dentdale and Ingleton to Clapham for the third night’s stay. All of this was intended as a prelude to the fourth day, which was always going to be the hardest of the trip, from Gargrave to near Leyburn. However, Hurricane Katia intervened to make life more interesting and certainly more tiring.
