Tandems Cycling is booming like it hasn’t for years. At the weekends we’ve seen a noticeable increase in lycra clad figures of both genders spinning along our roads but it still remains a rare sighting to spot a tandem - a man and a woman pedalling together in synchronised harmony. But they are becoming more popular too. So does double the pedal power mean double the fun? And are there gender politics at play on the bicycle made for two? Ruth Hargreaves and her husband John have been an item for 24 years and riding a tandem for almost as long. They run a tandem shop in Gargrave in the Yorkshire Dales and Caz Graham went to meet them.
