TRAVEL OPTIONS
Traveling with your tandem can be challenging but having your personal tandem with you when you travel is a satisfying option. After analyzing all of the options available to our customers, we’ve decided it was time to help design adequate choices for new and existing customers (as well as non-Calfee customers).
