Discover Tandeming is an opportunity to learn all about tandem cycling, whether you would like to “try before you buy” or just want a fun day out. Perhaps you are even considering Discover Tandeming as a unique gift for friends or family.

Our experienced team of tandem teachers will provide you with all the techniques and skills necessary to learn to tandem ride, including instruction on gear changing, effective braking and essential “lingo” for communication between riders. By the end of your day of Discover Tandeming, we’ll have you starting, stopping, and hopping on and off tandems like the pros!

A day’s Discover Tandeming costs only £50 per couple, and we provide the tandem, route guides and a rack pack to carry your personal belongs.

Gargrave is situated just 4 miles from Skipton on the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Providing access to some of the best cycling Yorkshire has to offer.

From the JD Tandems store Malham Cove is an easy 7 miles away, with a whole host of tea shops, there is even a superb farm shop and café part way in the pretty village of Airton.

For those looking for a tougher ride, heading up the side of Malham Cove over to Arncliffe and back through Hetton is 30 miles, with stacks of climbing, and a circular route up the notorious Fleet Moss climb to Hawes is a very hilly 70 miles. Heading west will lead you to some gently rolling, very quiet pretty lanes.
