Try Tandem Cycling – free session Sunday 7 April, Karawarra

The Western Australian Tandem Cycling Advisory Council (WATCAC) will host this ‘try tandem cycling’ clinic for blind and vision impaired participants and for sighted riders who may like to volunteer as front riders. To start riding on the back of a tandem, no previous cycling experience is necessary.  To start riding on the front of a tandem, previous experience including derailleur gears is recommended but not essential.

You will learn to ride on the back of a tandem bicycle as part of a team, or as a sighted volunteer rider piloting on the front of the bike. WATCAC is a cycling volunteer community that supports blind and vision impaired cycling using tandem bicycles, so there is an opportunity to continue to explore cycling with us.

This clinic will be held at the George Burnett Leisure Centre in Karawarra 8:30-11:30am on Sunday 7 April 2024 and is suitable for ages from teens and up. Children under 18 years must be accompanied by an adult family member. Family members and cycling friends of all participants are also welcome to attend and participate.

To participate or enquire please use the Contact Us form to register or for further information.
