The next "I want!"

In accordance with my persuit of the goal of owning optimum number of bicycles (see my previous post on this) I have been aiming big for my next aspiration. This is to stop my current fleet of bicycles snowballing in size too ridiculously quickly.

Here it is: A road tandem, designed for the open road with thin tyres and drop handlebars. I wouldn't mind betting a steady cruise at 20mph would be quite easily possible on this mean machine.


Rosie and I have hired a tandem before on the Tissington Trail and that was a heck of a lot of fun. The idea of doing some cycle touring on a tandem is even more fun.

Sadly as this bicycle carries a price tag of £2,500 I don't think we'll be investing in one for a good many years.
