A Look Back at Some of Our Tandems

As we update our older blog posts, we have been looking back at some of the tandems that have passed through our workshop over the years.

Many of these cycles were part of past sales or special events. They have now found new homes, but they are still a great example of the kinds of refurbished and inclusive cycles we work with.

Here are a few favourites from previous years.

Vintage Batavus 3 speed Dutch Tandem

A classic steel tandem from long-established Dutch cycle maker Batavus, this adult tandem rides beautifully in a relaxed, leisurely way making it perfect for trips to your favourite cafe.

Used Huka Co Pilot steer-from-rear tandem bicycle

A good quality, well-made Dutch steer-from-the-rear tandem. This is designed to be used by an adult at the back and a child up front. Fun to ride and easy to get on and off thanks to its low step-through frame.

Used HJD ‘Duo’ steer-from-rear tandem bicycle

Another Dutch steer-from-rear tandem with all the advantages of being controlled (steering, braking and gears) by the rider at the back. This model is fitted with a neat clutch system to disengage the front rider’s transmission. It is very handy if they get tired.

Used Meybike steer-from-rear Tandem

This well-made Danish steer-from-rear tandem features also offers ‘fixed’ setting and ‘freewheel’ settings/ This helps so the little one up front can stop pedalling. A great way for a family to enjoy cycling together.

Used Van Raam TaVaRa bicycle

For people who like a bike all to themselves, we have the TaVaRa. With a unique ‘crank-forward’ frame design that lets the rider place both feet flat on the ground when stationary. It’s also very relaxing to ride.

We regularly refurbish and sell tandems and other inclusive cycles, and our stock changes throughout the year. If you are looking for a tandem, an adult and child model, please get in touch.

Even if a specific model is no longer available, we can often suggest similar options or talk through what might work best for you.
