About The Event
The training takes about 90 minutes and covers basic bike safety, tandem riding techniques and communication and disability awareness. We will take a loop of the park together, during which you will alternate between the captain and stoker positions and may get a chance to ride with your eyes closed! You may or may not get to ride with one of our stokers on your first outing. Our Director of Operations will determine whether or not you passed the training and are ready to ride with stokers. If needed, additional training will be provided until you are ready to ride with our members. It may take time but there is no rush and we are in it together. If you are solid on a single bike then you will have no problem learning how to captain a tandem.
Thank you for riding Safely with InTandem!
