Tandem bike volunteers in the San Francisco bay area(self.Blind)
submitted by heathcliff81
I am amateur. I tried this a couple of times in the UK and I thoroughly enjoyed being stoker on a tandem bike. I would like to pick this up again and try it a few times before purchasing a tandem for myself. I live in Sunnyvale. Are there any clubs/organizations that organize tandem bike rides in the San Francisco bay area? If not, any ideas on how to go about finding volunteer pilots?

My wife and I ride a tandem bike. We've been doing it since long before I went blind. The only thing that's changed is she's now the pilot.
We aren't competitors. We just enjoy an occasional ride along the river. The nice thing about a tandem is skill levels don't matter much - the stronger rider compensates for the weaker one and we don't really notice a mismatch. The point I'm making is ride with someone you love. You could find a volunteer at a bike club but you'll get just as much exercise and even more enjoyment riding with a close friend or family member.
