The first ‘test drive’ was on my own, with my 12-year-old son shouting encouragement. What hit my straightaway was the balance, though it only took a few moments to get the feel of the tandem. Next was the superb shimono gears and extremely smooth braking system – both far better than my bike. Then, onto the real tandem stuff – my son hopped onto the back. If I can do this with him...

...Why A Headlamp?
The wearer of a head-torch is never going to win any style awards - in fact you end up looking like a ridiculous cross between Rambo and a Dalek. Yet, the benefits headlamps provide far outweigh any self-consciousness or ridicule they attract.

If you fill the bladder up, things get pretty cramped. The gear compartment has a pocket to keep some things available/safe and has a little clip so they stay put. The elastic on this pocket could stand to be a little tighter so it holds the pocket closed. Not a big deal and it hsan't been an issue for me. This is also a cord-port so you can run headphones or headlamp...

I bought this head torch for a round the world tour this year and it held up wonderfully. At first it seems a very expensive product and in many respects it is - you are lucky to get it for less than $100 or 50 quid. However within a few weeks of using... more
