It sounds like you already have an investment in a rear carrier and roof bars. I'm not sure what you mean by getting the roof bars "fitted". If you have bars and towers and only need the...

Tandem? My wife and I used to ride our own road bikes. She kept up *pretty well* on the flats, but not at all on the hills. I bought us a tandem ~2 years ago and I really enjoy cycling with her. I...

Not that's not a bad "crate on trailer" job. Here's a pic of Ollie before his first ride - it gives a good idea of how big his space is. He looks *much* happier now when we stick him in the...
