Two thoughts above all: wow, weren't the road designs even worse in the 1980s; and why don't lorry drivers still keep bikes on board to pop to shops and cafes and so on when they have to take breaks?

LOL .... just started watching and in the beginning, he says that you should take your wife or girlfriend on a tandem for a week and a fortnight, and she is cold wet and hungry, and still your friend, you have a good basis for a married life .... 
not sure is the old lady on the back of the tandem looked very happy though
but I've bookmarked to watch the rest tomorrow

'To not have a bike is a crime'. I wonder how the young couple fared on their round the world cycle?

I really enjoyed that, thank you GuyBoden.
The chap with the home made tent looked to be riding a 70's Thompson (Andy Thompson Frame builder I think?). I have an early 80's Orbit Thompson with a very similar logo, made in Sheffield where the old chap came from I think?
Nice Bob Jackson's too.
Could anyone make out what the John O'Groats - Lands End chap was riding?

According to this article, it was a Stan Pike bike. http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news...dburns-record-breaking-end-to-end-1982-211103
