Stoker's Hub
Blind & visually impaired cyclists are the stokers, pedalling from the rear seat of the tandem. Stokers add power, making tandem bikes go faster and farther. The cyclist in the front seat, the captain, controls the steering, shifting, and braking.

My most epic ride was La Ruta de los Conquistadores, a coast-to-coast, mountain bike stage race in Costa Rica. It was the wickedest ride, but one I will cherish forever. Cycling is a fix for my need for speed.
