I've added the Shopshire Cycleway to Rides as a tour. There are 5 parts to this and each have been individually added. The GPX files have been especially created for this resource. https://tandem-club.org.uk/rides?cmd=tourView&id=42

Hi all. I posted a Cooper drop handlebar tandem on the for sale listings over a month ago now. It has been heavily reduced, down from £4500 to £2000. It’s a real bargain but hasn’t had any enquiries and I can only think the reason us that it’s dropped down the listings since I first posted. Really need to seek quickly, so if anyone is looking for a very special tandem, please have a look at the listing and get in touch. Thank you

Many years ago I did some tandem racing as the pilot on a T1000, mainly crits at Lancaster and Preston. Front was quite good, however it would drop the chain every time we tried to attack and we would promptly go backwards in the group. I was rubbish and had a sprinter on the back so we inevitably g more ...

Hello Stephen, Another endorsement for Pete Bird in Coalport. Im sure he can advise and tailor something to your precise needs. It is well worth the journey. His workshop is fantastic, and the surroundings are marvellous. Regards, Neil Frowe

Just noticed Ian Brown's comments so thought I would update, The wheels rebuilt with DT Swiss spokes are now totally reliable, I'm convinced it was a poor wheel build with poor quality spokes. With regards to building my own wheels, yes I have thought about this over many years of riding bikes. My g more ...

Hi John, Your side brace looks amazing and I am currently looking for something like this to supplement a newly acquired ATOC fork mounted carrier. Although the manual says a brace isnt necessary I would still like to fit one! Can you help me out and send me a list of the components you ordered from more ...
Always a tricky decision for a ride organiser. Do we go to Ye Olde Gibbet for lunch, where we have to book three months in advance, pay a deposit, guarantee an arrival time and decide if we want our veg "Al Dente" or "A L'ecole" (mashed with lumps) or do we go to a place where they don't blink an ey more ...

Dear Andrew - could you very kindly get in touch, perhaps, as there's a member who'd like to contact you but not through anything that's public like a website. As before, mark@braynework.com is the best way to reach me. Thanks.

Very impressed by your turnout Andrew. We never managed anything that close here up north on the coast. If you and your fellow riders ever felt like coming this far, would be good to team up.

Michelle's Birthday Ride for the Taunton Tandem Group saw 8 tandems and 4 solos (including Ed on his recumbent) meet at Torre Cider Farm, Washford on a cold and rather dreary February morning - but at least it stayed dry for us! The Cider Farm opened especially for us, so we were fuelled with coffee more ...
