The TANDEM BIKE PROJECT is an amazing way for the visually impaired to get out and enjoy the exhilaration of biking! It's great exercise, highly social and an awesome way to enjoy nature. We're teaming up with the Springfield Bicycle Club, Springfield IL to make this project happen and funding is needed!  ​
