Nick is doing the London to Cambridge bike ride on a tandem

I use Cam Sight’s tandem service on a regular basis and love going out on the tandem, I’ve completed the ride three times before and it’s always an enjoyable day. So the money I raise from the ride will help keep the tandem service available to use for free for myself and any other clients.
