Our Tandem Adventurers program has been giving blind and visually impaired kids ages 10+ something special — the wind in their face, the open road, and the pure joy of riding a bike.

This isn't just a program. It's a community built on trust. Our volunteer Tandem Captains, many of whom have been pedaling alongside these kids for YEARS, some for decades, show up season after season because they've seen firsthand what this experience means.

Watch the video, we are excited for you to join a Tandem Adventurers ride!

This program keeps growing, and there's room for more adventurers!

Thank you to the supporters who keep this program rolling, including Lighthouse for the Blind - St. Louis, Carney's Kids Foundation, Big Shark Bicycle Company, and Move by BJC.

Thank you to Seth at Regular Guy Creative for creating this video!
