Tandem Cycling Come and Try
Riding a bike is an inclusive activity – however it’s not always an activity everyone can be included in without some extra assistance, particularly if they have a vision impairment or another disability that means they can’t ride safely alone.
For this reason, we are always looking for new tandem pilots to ride with us.
Event at a glance- NEW DATE
Saturday 18th May 9:30am to 12noon.
Stromlo Criterium Circuit on the start/finish straight
Fitability will be holding a Come and Try morning where people can trial piloting a tandem bike!
Instructions on piloting as well as disability-specific information will be provided by experienced pilots and volunteers.
This is a great opportunity for people to turn up and see if piloting a tandem is something they enjoy and volunteer to share cycling with riders with vision impairment or other disabilities.
You can also speak with us about opportunities to ride tandem with a person with a disability, or accompany a person with a disability riding their single bike, as a paid casual job. This is becoming possible through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) because people with a disability can use their NDIS funds to support their own recreational and social goals.
No matter what interest you have, whether it is road riding, social riding or even racing – if you are confident on your bike and open to trying a tandem then Fitability’s “Come and Try” is for you.
The only thing you need to bring with you is your own helmet and a willingness to give something new a go.
You can also contact us if you would like to know more about the event or about tandem riding and the Fitability Program.
