Riding a tandem makes me feel so alive.  I don’t have to worry about watching where I am going.  I can open up the throttle and fly.  I am so grateful to any pilot who shares the ride with me.

September 03, 2019 by ctinberg

Chuck H. from Missoula, Montana, wanted he and his wife’s tandem to help blind/VI cyclists get out and ride.  So, he contacted us and our Executive Director just happened to be in Missoula this summer. Perfect timing! She transported the bike to Oregon Adaptive Sports located in beautiful Bend, Oregon.  Here is a photo of their Executive Director, Pat, receiving the tandem in August.  Thanks, Chuck! Your Burley will now ride the roads of Central Oregon!
