Do you like cycling but have a friend or family member who can't?  Why not try tandeming?  We've been tandeming with our elder daughter, who has Severe Learning Difficulties and Autism, for the last 5 years, so if you would like some advice and how to borrow a tandem for free, then please contact me.

  • Dear RachMama,

    I think that your son would probably be too big for a tag-a-long, so I would suggest a tandem.  We have a number to borrow for a month or so, for free.  If you look on my website, CharlottesTandems, you'll see them and lots of details, including how to contact me directly.  After riding the tandem, your son may get better at balancing and may ride his own bike or may enjoy riding the tandem anyway. 

    My daughter got used to pedalling a bike (without stabalisers), after riding the tandem, but would not brake or have any idea about road safety, so we've stuck to the tandem, which she loves.

    Good luck.  Alex
