About Tandem Trekkers

One of our regular stokers has done an 18 mile sponsored walk, in 6 hours, on one of our local routes to fundraiser for Tandem Trekkers. If you’d like to financially support Ian and donate to TT costs please visit the JustGiving page.

About Tandem Trekkers-

Tandem Trekers residential group 2025

Tandem Trekkers was established in 2014  dedicated to providing tandem riding for blind and visually impaired cyclists.


We successfully applied to the Charity Commission and became a registered charity in October 2017. (Registered Charity Number 1175326).

All our annual reports and accounts can be downloaded from the Charity Commission website.

Our core membership today numbers some 70 riders and we warmly welcome new pilots, stokers and supporters.

A great ride on the Spen Valley Ringway

We manage our own fleet of just over 20 tandems which is boosted by the fact that several of our members ride their own bikes.

We predominantly use JD Tandem Orbit’s, which are comfortable, reliable. We have a variety of sizing available.

We have a fantastic selection of rides and events planned throughout the ride calendar. From local rides out of our HQ in Mirfield, to days out on the coast. We have an annual residential which is a lovely weekend of wellbeing, excise and socialising.

Our main aim is to provide fun, support, exercise and wellbeing opportunties to Visually Impaired (VI) and Blind people, however all member and supporters can get a lot out of being part of the TT group.

We have socials, fundraising, networking, education and training amongst our usual cycling.

Smiling and laughing is a big part of who we are at TT

If you’re interested in coming along to one of our sessions, as rider or supporter, or would simply like to find out more about us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

We really would be delighted to hear from you…..
