Mission Statement
Talking Tandems is working towards a society where all blind or partially
sighted people have the opportunity to tandem cycle within their local
community.
Talking Tandems’ mission from 2009 to 2012 is to achieve an increase in the
number of people tandem cycling in locations throughout Fife, providing
individuals and groups with a regular, flexible, affordable and sustainable
tandem cycling programme thus promoting the inclusion of individuals who are
blind or partially sighted in mainstream cycling activities.
