John and I have bought from Simon Gershon, owner of Orbit Cycles, the tandem side of his manufacturing business. We will be retailing his current range of tandems with plans to extend the Orbit Tandem range for next year. Details will follow on the site as we roll out our developments. Simon is continuing with the solo side of his business.
Tandeming in Holland

John and I popped over to Holland last Tuesday, and I mean popped, the flight time from Leeds Bradford was 53 minutes, in fact I still had my G & T by the time we landed. Although that’s mainly due to the fact that to get an extra leg room seat for John (6’5” and shrinking) we had to sit in the middle so it took 25 minutes to be served. A day of business was followed by a day of tandem riding. Now the flat isn’t really for us, we prefer something more undualting. But I have to say I really enjoyed the riding, lots of cycle paths – no windmills though! Food was fab, and the ride up the coast through the sand dunes was great
Been a bit busy

Back on the front again

It’s been a while since I have done any front riding, but following a request from my long time friend Helen, we both got back in the saddle for a spin to Bolton Abbey. The combination of a really relaxed rear rider and the amazing performance of the Santana tandem we were riding, meant it was almost like riding solo. Apart from, of course, the incessant chat. I had forgotten how much fun it is to ride with a friend, roll on next week.
