Talking in Tandem

There are two sides to every story . . . When an adrenaline junkie and his poet wife take to the road on a bicycle made for two, a tale of trust, love and adventure unfolds. One thing is certain: a tandem will either make or break a relationship . . . “In this part of England, we are fortunate enough to be encircled by spectacular scenery, landscapes veined with winding roads that, with a single glance, insist upon our curiosity. An unscheduled right-turn might offer a chance encounter with an eerily quiet tenth century church, whilst a left-turn might deliver a cluster of standing stones. And so, it’s easy to see why anyone would want to buy a bike and trundle off into one adventure after another. Seat a pair of fine writers on a bicycle made for two, however, and the adventures become far bigger. “The season of gifting is upon us” begins this enchanting and engaging book, and what a gift we’ve been given by Claire and Tony—and, of course, Tallulah!” ~Liam Wilkinson Editor of Englyn Journal of Four Line Poetry. “For a few years now, I’ve been reading the tandem bicycle adventures of Tony and Claire from a woman’s point of view. We now have Tony’s, the Middle-Age Shredder. Ladies, it may come as a surprise, but you can trust a husband who doesn’t follow assembly instructions. Up the Irons!” ~Mike Montreuil Haibun and Tanka Prose Editor A Hundred Gourds
