About Exsight

Exsight Tandems was started in April 2008. From the humble beginings of one blind person getting a group of sighted cyclists to ride with him on a tandem, the group has grown rapidly to include a regular roster of able cyclists riding with a group that includes blind, low vision and people with other disabilities.

The group aims to get those who wouldn't be able to cycle on their own out exercising and enjoying the wonderful environment in the Illawarra area of New South Wales.

Support Exsight

Terry Wall will be riding from Cairo, Egypt to Capetown in South Africa, from January 15th 2011.

As part of the ride, Terry will be raising money for Exsight. For more information, see Terry's site: http://www.terrywall.blogspot.com/.

About Tandem Riding

A tandem bicyle has two positions. The captain is on the front of the bike, and has control over gears, stearing and brakes as well as providing half the pedal power. The stoker sits on the rear of the bike and provides the other half of the teams speed.

The tandem's riden by Exsight are syncronised, meaning both the captain and the stoker have to work together to get moving and stay on track.

Get Involved

Exsight is always looking for new participants, both as captains and as stokers. If you're keen to help out, want to get involved, or just want to give tandem cycling a try, contact:
