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

Thanks for all the advice folks. The warning of steep gradients is noted. And Mark, I will look to see how possible it is to move my tour to mid-Wales. I am not ready to do the Wheely Wonderful package, but I am softening up as I try to otherwise sort out my route and planning. Thanks for the link. more ...

Hi Stephen, I set myself pretty much the same task about 12 years ago with my Cannondale road tandem. Got it down to 14.6 kg. Rolf wheels, standard rotor road cranks with a straight through transmission and all the bars stems and seat posts changed for light road components. It was fantastic to ride more ...

We use Sena bike helmets. Mike and speakers are integral. They are wireless with an open mic and have a range of about 1/2 mile if you are separated. ie: you can't lose your stoker. Should get at least 5 hours of continuous operation and recharge pretty quickly. Available on Amazon. more ...

Thanks Neil, I got the chance to meet Pete in person and have a very long chat with him at his shop in Coalport on a recent weekend away to Ironbridge. He said a lot of things which made a lot of sense and his bikes really impressed me. I had gone to his shop a little out of curiosity and really cam more ...

If anyone is thinking of cycling to the rally Stena Line have a special offer at the moment of GBP15 (one way) for a foot passenger on a day crossing. Tandem GBP14. That's a bargain!
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.
