Ian talks to Chris Beighton about the top 5 bike maintenance issues, plus a whole lot more!

In this podcast, John and Kate Bosley talk about their long history of cycling, particularly on the tandem and including their TT racing, long touring adventures, and how Kate found the tandem to be a great help after a serious cycling accident that left her visually impaired. In addition, they provide tips and insights on how to get started on riding a tandem yourself.

Have you ever wondered how to get involved in a Time Trial, either as a volunteer or trying your luck out as a rider?  You don't need all the gear, and you don't need to be fast - it's you against the clock and it's a lot of fun.  We talk to John Longbottom about all aspects of club TT's - and we cover a lot of content, so use the chapter markers to navigate if you want to hear about something specific (Tricycle TT's anyone?)
