Cycling is an excellent way of getting exercise and getting around. It should be the ideal way to get around cities but so many of them in the UK are clogged up with motorised vehicles. However the good news is that Britain is an excellent place to cycle because of the large number of country lanes which are often quiet. There is also plenty of detail and interest that you miss as you travel through in a car. Cycling is also a tremendous way to travel. It is the ideal way to see an area, again because you see so much detail. Tandeming is excellent fun although it takes cooperation, trust and practice. The reduced wind resistance of a tandem means you can go faster than you would on a solo along the flat or downhill. Unfortunately a tandem is often more expensive than two equivalent single bikes. A lot of the components have to be especially well engineered to take the extra stress that is put on them. The special components for a tandem are often only made in small quantities which means the price is higher. |
