Requirement: Volunteers should feel confident captaining a tandem bike
Welcome to the Waypoint Adventure's Tandem Cycling Program. The group will work together cycling the back roads and bike paths of Massachusetts. Participants and volunteers are encouraged to bring lunch and socialize on the trail and during breaks. We will match up two riders (a Captain and a Stoker) The Captain will be the leader and the Stoker is the other half of the team, who works with the Captain to enjoy the adventure of tandem cycling. Some of our bikes are more traditional upright bicycles that require teamwork and balance. We also have other models that are side by side or recumbent, low to the ground, tandems. Some have two wheels and require more balance while others are quite sturdy and more supportive with three wheels and supportive seats. A successful tandem riding experience will be about matching the bike and teammates and working together as a group. The adventure will go from there.
