I'm guessing that if you removed the front wheel, a tandem would fit in a standard cycle bay, thus there'd be no problem for the guard to deal with...
Bute Ferry from Wemyss Bay cancelled on MOnday due to wind
Would take only a few hours to go from Glasgow to Loch Lomond on a bike via Bowling and Old Kilpatrick buy a 99 from the van in the country park at teh waers edge then go home. Sounds good. Certain sections out Drumchapel way a little ropey.
