Hopefully you've all heard of Charlotte's Tandems by now.

In their own words, "[i]We lend, at no cost (i.e. for free), tandems and tag-alongs to (and only to) people with disabilities or additional needs, who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own, so that they can enjoy the wonders of cycling[/i]"
One thing they don't do, is find captains for disabled stokers, it's up to the disabled person to find their own partner.

However, there is now a new group to help with this.
http://pilots-stokers.weebly.com/
www.facebook.com/groups/1656859641194681
Their aim is to put able bodied experienced tandem riders or owners in touch with disabled cyclists.

It's a new group and not many people have signed up yet, although one of those who has is a ten times German track sprint champion offering to pilot people on the Manchester Veloldrome. 🙂
If you've got a tandem of your own, or could captain one of Charlotte's Tandems, please get in touch with them.
