What's the best/cheapest way to get a tandem from the edge of the Peak District (c.15 miles east of Manchester Piccadilly) down to Bedford (or London, at a push) , given that I don't drive?
I was toying with the idea of cycling to Manc and booking a slot on a Virgin train but I'm not entirely sure I trust the bike to be ridden that far without looking it over properly, and if it fails beyond a rudimentary repair I'm pretty much screwed. It's not exactly going to fit in a taxi...

Any advice greatly appreciated.
