Petra - 1978 Puch Princess mixte

The Touring Tandem

Queen Mary - Mercian Tandem 
Purchased in 2018, she had one outing to the Netherlands in the summer of 2018 before a house move and career changes for both of us curtailed long cycling tours. We're looking forward to further adventures in 2021. 

The Cargo and People Carrier

Baby - Circe Helios Duo 
Adam's bike more than mine, as his weekly grocery-getter, cargo van and mobile bicycle mechanic's vehicle!

Loaded up for a trip to the Recycling/Reuse Centre - April 2015

Dr Bike - March 2015

Occasionally, she's in tandem mode, at which point I get to be stoker.

PREVIOUSLY OWNED...

Astrid - 2014 Viking Bromley mixte singlespeed

Read her story here.

Swoopy - 1970s(?) Puch Emerald mixte

More info here and here. Sadly now "demised" due to frame damage. 

Liesl - 1950s Puch Rugby Sport

August 2011 as purchased on Ebay -- a true barn find. Sold August 2014 as she did not have a clear role in my cycling life and I wasn't riding her anymore.

Robin - 2011 Surly Pacer

March 2012 as purchased. The build was carefully 'curated' - no changes have been made other than brief flirtation with a different handlebar. Sold August 2014 with great reluctance but with the addition of Riley to the family, Robin's role had been supplanted. She now lives in Hackney and will hopefully share many happy miles with her new owner, Camilla.

Woodstock - 2009 Brompton M3L

The bicycle that started it all....
