Overview
Charlotte’s Tandems lend tandems to (and only to) people with disabilities or special needs who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own.
Tandems are a fun and safe way to get out and about as friends, a couple, family or group. They are available free of charge for hire for a couple of months at a time.
