Matt and Andy have decided to tackle the West Country hills by tandem to raise money for a worthy cause. On April 23rd, Matt and Andy will depart Land's End with pasties stuffed in their panniers, and will climb the hills of Cornwall and Devon, finally reaching Bristol four days and 250 miles later. We have decided to raise money for Bristol charity, Lifecycle UK, who we work closely with and are familiar with their fantastic work.

Two's Company is one of the many projects that Lifecycle run. The programme of tandem cycle rides caters for adults and young people, from complete beginners through to experienced riders. A typical ride has up to eight tandems, each with a sighted person at the front and a visually impaired co-rider behind. The rides are enjoyable days out, and also opportunities for people to socialise and make new friends.

The idea for the project came from local visually impaired people who told Life Cycle that they have very limited opportunities to take exercise, keep fit, or enjoy the local countryside. Several people had cycled in their youth but lost their vision in later life and therefore had to give up cycling. They were keen to recapture the pleasures of riding on two wheels, experiencing the wind in their hair, the sounds and smells of the countryside, fresh air, and the thrill of moving quickly and quietly under their own power.
