Heading Off: On an electric tandem bike

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm today

Meri Murphy and her partner Doug Maclachlan are a pair of octogenarians who have spent the past few years cycling around New Zealand on an electric tandem bike, called "Giselle".

So far they have clocked approximately 25,000km across both islands!
