You can also contact us at bike.ptchev@gmail.com \n• Make sure your bike’s in good working order before the day – please check your tires and brakes especially! \n• If we need to reschedule for any reason\, we’ll post an update on the chalkboard in the square opposite the library. \nAlso\, thanks to the Albert-Eden Local Board for their support for Bike Burb activities!

Tandems benefit people with other disabilities too. For people who can’t cycle alone\, a tandem is a great solution. \nWhat is tandem piloting for people who are blind or have low vision?\nThe vision impaired rider or ‘stoker’ sits at the back of the tandem and provides muscle power. The pilot steers the tandem and rides in close communication with the stoker. \nAbout the session\nCome along to Silo Park where we’ll be using the safe space of the basketball courts for your 30-minute lesson on how to pilot a tandem. After your lesson\, you will have the opportunity for free practice on the tandem with the experienced stokers who are available to help. \nYou’ll also have the chance to meet a high performance tandem pairing who represent Aotearoa internationally at Para cycling competitions. \nBikes will be provided. Bring your helmet if you have one\, or use one of our spares. \nWhat can you do with your new tandem piloting skills?\nOnce trained\, you will be able to use your skills as a pilot rider with people in your own life\, or take up volunteer opportunities such as providing tandem piloting for vision impaired riders on group rides around our region\, recreationally or competitively in the Para sport space. \nHelp spread the word about this event\nUse this Learn to Pilot a Tandem event poster to share this event with your network.
