A Recycled Journey - Tandem Cycling Across Europe
Cycling over 6500km across Europe in May 2024 to attempt to break the European Tandem World Record
Great outing last week to test our tandem skills near Auchterarder on a muddy Scottish 'Gravel' ride! 🏴🚵♀️🚵
Don't think we had much choice in which direction we were going 😅

Who are we raising funds for?
We are raising funds for Adaptive Riders Collective CIC which is a community interest company setup to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to experience the benefits and freedom of nature through off-road adaptive cycling. ARC's mission is to provide services, create an inclusive collective of adaptive & non-disabled riders, and offer a space where riders of all abilities can come together and enjoy all that cycling and being out amongst nature has to offer.
Fingers crossed we can raise enough money to fund a new handcycle and a box trailer for ARC!

What bike are we using and what is our message?
We found a discarded vintage 1990s tandem at The Bike Station Edinburgh and had it rebuilt by the amazing team at The Bike Station - Perth. We hope to ignite a passion for the outdoors, recycling, healthy active lifestyles, perseverance and feel good adventures!
Our expedition has a strong eco friendly accessible message that aims to show that old equipment can be reused, recycled and still have a lot of life still left in it!
