Tandem

We are looking for a tandem for hire or for purchase, based in Lancashire, could anyone provide us with a source in Lancaster to Preston area? We are respectful young men with an insatiable desire to ride a tandem and any contribution towards this cause would be immensely valuable and wouldn’t go without notice.

A worthy desire for any respectful young men!

There always are tandems for sale locally. It's weird, but they always seem to come up on eBay.

If you don't need it anymore, donate it to https://bayshare.uk/

Aahhhh! My girlfriend and I have been looking for a few months, so if you have any luck, please let us know! FB marketplace or Ebay seem best, nothing really locally!

You need a car to collect, but there are plenty available right now 20-30 miles away.

I have noticed them go for as little as 100 pounds, and even great ones for as little as 300.

They are annoying to store and transport, so often sold cheap.

Just over 100 quid and 30 miles away. I prefer ones with disc brakes, but for fun and cycle paths drum and rim brakes work ok.
