For a trip in total complicity.

We came up with the idea for Toog Tandem Tours while touring the roads with our tandem bike, united by a desire to share special moments. This semi-recumbent tandem allows us to enjoy unforgettable, collaborative experiences using a gentle, environmentally-friendly mode of transport.

Today, we want to share this experience and our values towards soft mobility and contribute to a more sustainable and local tourism.

We offer exclusive Pino Hase Bikes tandem tours from La Rochelle in the Charente-Maritime region, either on your own or on a turnkey basis, with a rigorous selection of services to free you from the burden of organization.

By opting for a CAE (cooperative) status, we have opted for a different business model, centered on people and based on the values of sharing and cooperation.

Toog Tandem Travel is much more than a means of transport, it's a state of mind: escape, share, live the moment.

Alexandra: "I didn't like cycling.
Keeping up with my sporty partner, who has a completely different pace and stamina to me, the discomfort of a traditional bike and the impossibility of really admiring the scenery or chatting, had always prevented me from enjoying this type of trip. Until we tried out the Pino Hase Bikes semi-recumbent tandem, and after a first 110 km ride, I was won over by this bike which, in my opinion, revolutionizes bicycle touring for women, but also for all those who want to share intense moments of complicity.
The front crankset is disengageable, so I can pedal at my own pace and even stop pedaling. The effort is balanced between the passenger and the captain, and I don't have to steer the bike. I'm close to my partner and we can comment on and share what's going on around us, chat and catch up on the world. The semi-recumbent position at the front also gives the captain a clear view, so we can see the same thing and share the same landscape. I can also take care of guidance, water distribution and snacks, so my hands are free. A two, we go further and we go together. "

Simon: "Slow down time, make every minute intense.
Time goes by too quickly, consuming moments of sharing. How much time do we really spend alone with those we love? The rare opportunities to share a special moment with our children or our spouse on a daily basis are counted in minutes. Toog Tandem Tours offers you the chance to slow down time and enjoy an experience of intense complicity with your loved ones. "
