Tandem Bicycles: A Path to Independence and Inclusion for the Blind Community
Growing up in Pakistan, I never imagined riding a bicycle. As a blind person, the concept of riding a bike seemed like an unattainable dream, especially in a country where specialized equipment for people with disabilities is scarce. Tandem bicycles, designed to be shared by two riders—one as the guide and the other as the stoker—were unheard of in my environment. It wasn’t until I moved to Canada that I discovered the possibilities that tandem bikes bring to the blind community.
