Tandem Bike Cycling Tours for the Visually Impaired
Volunteer photographer on a tandem bike cycling tour for the visually impaired.
Cycle Volunteer Japan, a non-profit organization, organizes cycling tours for the visually impaired in various locations.
At the suggestion of Hosokawa, a RIDAS cooperative member and a JCGA certified professional, I volunteered as a photographer.
I learned a lot about how to realize a “cycling experience that leaves no one behind. I also learned a lot about the current road environment in Japan, the unique operation of tandem bicycles, the differences when organizing cycling tours, and above all, the need for cycling guides to provide both vanguard and rear guard services.
