Together, in partnership with Anacapa School, we will be riding surrey bikes with a group of middle school students and teachers. Our Blind Fitness participants will help educate and spread awareness of the blind and low vision community. Come pedal with us on Wednesday, May 15th from 1-3pm.
We will be renting surrey bikes from Wheel Fun Rentals. A surrey bike is a four-wheeled quadricycle, with a two, four or six-seated covered carriage and has an open bench seat where everyone can pedal together. With two steering wheels, the surrey bike is perfect for people who are blind or have low vision to bike around and engage in physical activity while also enjoying a fun social event. This is an opportunity to get outdoors, move your body, connect with others, and help educate the public of the abilities of people with vision loss.
Blind and low vision participants, please RSVP by emailing Brianna at Brianna@blindfitness.org no later than Wednesday, May 8th in order for us to secure the proper amount of support and equipment. We do not need volunteers for this event.
Suggested donation – $10 per participant/volunteer
