As a distraction to help them get over losing the father they loved dearly, and as a tribute to his passion for the beautiful area they live in, Lana hatches a plan to boost business for everyone by having the Grand D\u00e9part route pass through their village. <\/p>\n<p>But this entails getting the small community to work together to convince the decision-makers that their beloved village is Tour material. Not an easy task when the people involved include Lana's shy, unlucky-in-love brother Tom, the man-eating WI chair Yolanda, bickering spouses Gerry and Sue, arrogant celebrity Harper Brady, and Lana's (attractive) arch-nemesis, former pro-cyclist turned bike shop owner, Stewart McLean, whose offbeat ideas might just cost them everything. <\/p>\n<p>From the author of <em>The Honey Trap<\/em> and <em>Meet Me at the Lighthouse<\/em>, this is a rural romance for lovers of Fiona Gibson, Sue Moorcroft and Penny Parkes' Larkford series.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bicycle-Made-Two-behaved-Yorkshire-ebook\/dp\/B079LLGSDN\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/38376075-a-bicycle-made-for-two\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center><center><p class=\"ubb-buy\"><div class=\"ubb-icon-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/4stars\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"80\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0003_4-stars.png?fit=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"4 stars icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/contemporary\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"140\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0007_contemporary.png?fit=140%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"contemporary icon\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/reviews\/book-tags\/romance\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"82\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/categories_0000s_0017_romance.png?fit=82%2C100&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"romance icon\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/center><br>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2018-04-05T21:20:56+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nTrigger warnings: death of a parent from cancer, depression\\r\\n\\r\\nThis is not your average British rom-com. \\u00a0For starters, it's set in the Yorkshire Dales in the north of England, and is full o\",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Llama Reads Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/04\\\/05\\\/review-a-bicycle-made-for-two-mary-jayne-baker\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"A Bicycle Made For Two\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Mary Jayne Baker\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"ReadingLlama\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": 4,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<hr \/>\n<p>Trigger warnings: death of a parent from cancer, depression<\/p>\n<p>This is not your average British rom-com. \u00a0For starters, it&#8217;s set in the Yorkshire Dales in the north of England, and is full of profanity, medieval food, cycling, and soul-reading bats. \u00a0In other words, it&#8217;s utterly hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>Lana and her brother Tom run a medieval restaurant in the village of Egglethwaite. \u00a0It may not be exactly what Lana had planned on doing with her life, but it&#8217;s her father&#8217;s baby, and she doesn&#8217;t feel right abandoning it when he&#8217;s battling cancer. \u00a0Things take a turn for the better after a date with the local rich jerk&#8217;s cousin, but then he ghosts her. \u00a0After a rough year &#8211; for the business and personally &#8211; Stewart&#8217;s suddenly back in town. \u00a0But what&#8217;s an up-and-coming cyclist doing opening a cycling shop in the middle of nowhere, and can Lana forgive him?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c\u2018Stewart McLean, that\u2019s what,\u2019 I said once we were out of earshot, finally giving vent to my pent-up rage. \u2018Can you Adam and fucking Eve it? Asking if we can be friends. Friends! After a year! What a first-class, prime-cut arse monkey.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the things I liked about the book was that the main characters screw up constantly. \u00a0Lana is a complete dick to Stewart, she apologies, then Stewart does something stupid and it&#8217;s his turn to apologize, and the same dynamic happens with the secondary couple. \u00a0It&#8217;s a smaller version of the second chances theme that runs throughout the book, the sort of &#8220;yeah, everybody screws up sometimes but sometimes you get a second chance&#8221; &#8211; in both life and love. \u00a0From taking up a project her dad abandoned when he was diagnosed with cancer, to deciding whether to give Stewart another date, it&#8217;s the chances they choose to take that move this book along and make it so special.<\/p>\n<p>The village of Egglethwaite is populated by lots of, well, characters, from the cute fish-and-chips owner to the frying-pan-amorous chef to the farming couple that act in loco parentis to Lana and Tom. \u00a0It was sweet &#8211; and hilarious &#8211; reading about the various ideas they come up with to raise money, from a nude calendar to a fair to a kissing booth. \u00a0I&#8217;m not a particularly big fan of cycling, but there&#8217;s not a particularly large amount of bike talk in the book, and what is there either serves the story or the humor (at one point Lana confuses pelotons with pelicans). \u00a0Between the language and the situations, this book kept me giggling from page to page. \u00a0There are some serious bits though, from Lana and Tom&#8217;s father&#8217;s battle with cancer to the reason Stewart never called Lana for that second date. \u00a0It&#8217;s all handled well and respectfully, though, even if one of the more serious relationship conversations happens when Lana is high as a kite on laughing gas and hallucinating talking snowmen and flamingos.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, if you&#8217;re looking for a hilarious second-chances Brit rom-com, this is a good choice for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trigger warnings: death of a parent from cancer, depression This is not your average British rom-com. \u00a0For starters, it&#8217;s set in the Yorkshire Dales in the north of England, and is full of profanity, medieval food, cycling, and soul-reading bats. \u00a0In other words, it&#8217;s utterly hilarious.
