Some years ago I had the pleasure of riding a Micwic back to back recumbent tandem and at the time thought how perfect it would be for doing photo-shoots of cyclists.

I am now looking to commission some video and still photography for Bikeability and wondered if anyone knows of a back-to-back tandem anywhere in the UK and if I could persuade the owner to rent or lend it for this purpose. I've seen several at shows in Europe but none since in the UK.

Any ideas?

Paul.

I only know of one in the UK, if they still have it it is up York way, not sure if they frequent the forum though and i don't have any contact details.

I have in the past followed a B2B tandem Trice crewed by Mike Hunting and Linda Johnston but that was ~10 years ago and I don't know where it or they are now. IIRC ICE built two but the other one lives in USAnia.

Hi Flatlander. Ours is the Micwic in York. I believe Peter Eland has already passed a message on from us.
