Join Waypoint Adventure's Tandem Cycling Program for a ride on the Charles River Bike Path . The group will meet in the large parking lot adjacent to the Artisani Playground (look for the branded Waypoint truck pulling a big trailer). 1255 Soldiers field Road.

We have a variety of adaptive tandem bikes that offer different levels of support. Participants will be matched up in pairs - a Captain who leads and a Stoker who works with the Captain to enjoy the ride. Some bikes are traditional upright tandems requiring teamwork and balance. Others are recumbent (low to the ground) with two wheels for more balance or three wheels and supportive seats for added stability.

We are also seeking volunteers to ride solo upright bikes and serve as safety cyclers. These volunteers will help manage road crossings and provide general support to the group along the trail. We will develop some confidence in the parking lot, and then set out to ride 4-7 miles along a flat rail trail.

Your Instructors: Michelle (781) 591-0811, Jim (781) 953-8928

Conditions: The ride will take place on the paved Charles River Bike Trail. The terrain is generally flat with a few short hills mix of sunny and shady areas. There are a few road crossings where we will get off our bikes.

Bathrooms: On site

  • Helmet (we will have some available to borrow)
