Carrying very young babies on traditional bike seats is not recommended, however, car seats like the ‘Maxi Cosi’ provide suitable support to a baby’s neck. By attaching the Steco ‘Baby Mee‘, which is designed to hold the Maxi Cosi, to the dedicated Cargo rack of the Morpheus (or Helios), a baby can become part of a […]

Increasingly, in our congested cities, people are using bikes for utility transportation. There are the obvious advantages of saved time and money, the very personal benefit of health and well being, but also the environmental benefit to us all. The Helios has proven particularly popular for transporting 1 or 2 children, either in two child […]

Contrarily, with advances in medicine and diet, and the consequent increases in longevity, dementia, or the diminution of mental faculties, has seen rapid growth, with nearly 1 million sufferers in the UK. At present, there is no cure, but research indicates that exercise can delay the onset and on-going decline of the brain and its […]

A tandem is the ideal way for the visually impaired to get out on a bicycle. When the Cambridge based charity, Camsight, celebrated its centenary, by organising a two day ride of 100 miles for the visually impaired people with whom it works, we joined in with a couple of Circe tandems. For our team, […]

The Helios is an uniquely compact tandem, able to fit into even small cars with only minimal dis-assembly, but with the installation of its dedicated ‘separable’ system, it will fit into our Traveller case for transporting by plane. We designed the separable system of the Helios to be as easy to use as possible; the coupling […]

On a long tour, particularly when camping, some couples find the luggage capacity of a tandem restrictive. After all, a conventional tandem, can only accommodate the same number of bags as a single bike. A good solution is a trailer and the Circe Atlas trailer was designed with such usage in mind. Not only is […]

I think the photo says it all. Family of four, two Helios tandems, full camping load and beautiful, spectacular Iceland. These are the Gordons, the same family that made a little trip a couple of years ago on the Helios……………..China to Glasgow self-supported!

  By combining its comfortable and sociable seating with exceptional load carrying capacity, the Morpheus is the ideal tandem for a long distance leisurely tour. The conventional rear rack can take panniers and a rack pack and the dedicated underseat racking system can take another pair of large panniers. A bar bag or small saddle […]

The Helios takes traditional front and rear racks and panniers, but it can also be fitted with a variety of other bags. On this occasion, the panniers have been left at the campsite, but a 27 litre Brompton T bag and a couple of bar bags provide plenty of luggage for a weekend away.

Cycling author and journalist, Richard Peace of Excellent Books, recently reviewed the Atlas trailer. He particularly liked the easy tool-less fold, large load platform and smooth towing experience with a variety of different wheel sizes.  

Circe dealer, David Gardner at Laid Back Cycles in Edinburgh, using his Helios tandem as a cargo bike to move inventory around. Note the way he’s cleverly using the handlebars instead of a luggage strap!

The Helios is compact by design and with the front wheel, captain seat post and handlebar removed and the stoker seat lowered the Helios will fit into a space 1800 x 600 x 200 mm. So remarkably compact that the Helios has been fitted into a 3 door Nissan Micra, with the rear seats down! […]

Both the Morpheus and Helios make great load carrier with the addition of the Cargo and Cargo extension. There’s no better way of showing the cargo capacity than having your dealers use them for their daily chores. David and Laid Back cycles in Edinburgh can be seen here delivering a customer’s bike, by bike! On […]
