I actually wrote "buy a tandem", but I am going to tick this off the list as we spent the day hiring a tandem.
In fact, it wasn't me, but Mr PBR who organised this as a birthday treat for me (and a timely reminder that my 1001 days are lessening and quickly! We got up at 6am and drove up to the Tandem Experience in Jackfield near Ironbridge, Shropshire for our day, greeted by wonderful weather, a plush two-seater and a very nice man called Pete.
We were given a quick lesson on how to get on and off, how to stop and a couple of other things, without a huge health and safety fanfare and we were away!
Mr PBR was at the front, meaning I literally sat back and did nothing while he braked, steered and pedalled, blissfully unaware that I wasn't pedalling and had my feet up!
We then cycled back to the Ironbridge and had a fantastic afternoon cycling more than 25 miles without breaking a sweat. Tandeming is great fun - reminded me of my adventures in my campervan when it automatically put a smile on my face and highly, highly recommended!
