Cycling with new vision

Visually impaired individuals try tandem cycling at a session

Can a visually impaired person experience a bicycle ride? With a little help from Divyang Sports and Cultural Foundation, this remote possibility is being realised. The Foundation organises a tandem cycling event every Sunday for visually-impaired persons starting from Shivaji Park, Dadar. Nihar Manjrekar, a volunteer, shared, “We have tandem cycles where the person who sits in front is called the pilot, and one who sits behind is called a stoker. Visually impaired participants are the stoker, while a seeing person pilots the bike. The pilot instructs and explains to the stoker as they ride around the city.”
