Peter Bird of The Bicycle Hub in the Fusion Building at Jackfield, Shropshire speaks about the bikes and tandems in his shop and some of the many schemes to get people out of cars and onto bikes.

Neil and Kathryn arrive in Norway with a tandem bicycle, a pair of sub-standard sleeping bags and a vague plan to ride to Malta. Hitch a lift in the saddlebag as they grind out a trail across Scandinavia, meeting reindeer herders on quad bikes, senile caravanners and a long-distance skateboarder. Experience Sweden*s rich variety from the desolate, forest and bog-covered north to the desolate, forest and bog-covered south. Worship at the altars of cinnamon buns, cloudberry jam and tins of rotting fish. Wonder at oversized knitwear, and join in the never-ending search for roadside fruit and the meaning of loppis.

   HALF-PRICE with interest free installments on the other half!?!? And special bike routes! I wish my country had that :’(

   Aside from transport, one could ride for recreation as well. A very commendable convergence of national traffic/environmental interests and personal ones!

   It’s nice that you cater to a wide spectrum of cyclists Peter. Keep it up!
