About Us
Bringing sighted and visually impaired cyclists together through the freedom, friendship and enjoyment of tandem cycling.
Cycling for Everyone
Talking Tandems is a Scottish charity (SC040774) based in Fife, bringing blind and partially sighted people together with sighted cyclists to enjoy tandem cycling.
Our aim is simple: to make cycling accessible, enjoyable and sociable for everyone involved.
How Tandem Cycling Works
Each tandem has two cyclists working together:
-
The pilot sits at the front, steering, braking and navigating.
-
The stoker sits at the rear, contributing to the pedalling and enjoying the ride.
By working together, pilots and stokers can enjoy cycling as a team, regardless of visual impairment.
Our Group Rides
We normally organise two group rides each month, weather permitting, alongside opportunities for individual rides.
Our routes take us through Fife and beyond, with opportunities to explore the countryside, enjoy café stops and spend time with friends.
Join Talking Tandems
Whether you're blind or partially sighted and would like to try tandem cycling, or a sighted cyclist interested in volunteering as a pilot, we'd love to hear from you.
You don't need to be an expert cyclist to make an initial enquiry. We'll be happy to explain how the group works and discuss how you might get involved.
