Tandem Cycling for Everyone

New York City’s only dedicated tandem cycling program — connecting sighted riders with cyclists who are blind or have low vision for weekly rides, events, and community.

InTandem Cycling is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide tandem cycling programs to people who are blind, have low vision, or cannot ride independently due to other disabilities.

Get Involved

Two people wearing helmets and cycling gear are riding a tandem bicycle on a paved road. Trees and other cyclists are visible in the background on a sunny day.

Become a Captain

Captains ride up front and provide safe navigation. Meet new people and share your joy of cycling with people who might otherwise be stuck on the sideline. InTandem provides a thorough training on bike safety, tandem riding techniques and communication, and disability awareness.

Become a Stoker

Stokers sit on the back of the tandem and ‘stoke the engine,’ powering the bike. If you cannot ride a bike independently, try riding a tandem with one of our well-trained captains. We will provide you with an individualized orientation and provide necessary accommodations. No cycling experience is necessary.

Volunteer with InTandem

Even if you are not a cycling enthusiast, there are many opportunities for you to volunteer with InTandem. Come watch and care for guide dogs while their owners ride, ensure everyone gets an equal opportunity and help out as needed.

Upcoming Events

Three adults wearing bike helmets and InTandem shirts stand with tandem bicycles on a city street. Another woman stands beside them. Other cyclists are visible in the background near buildings and a traffic light.

Four cyclists wearing InTandem shirts and helmets pose for a selfie by a river. A large bridge spans the background, and buildings and trees are visible across the water. One person smiles and holds up a cloth.
