InTandem Cycling, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to providing tandem cycling programs to individuals who are blind, have low vision, or face other disabilities that prevent them from riding independently.
Founded a decade ago by Artie Elefant who became blind as an adult, InTandem has grown into an organization of empowerment and inclusivity. Artie sought a way to continue experiencing the thrill of biking, an exercise he loved. His son Matthew is proud of what the organization has accomplished thus far. "We're celebrating our tenth year,' he said, "and we're thrilled about this. We have pedaled over 200,000 miles as a community!" Cyclists who are blind or vision impaired and their captains will often be seen in Central Park from which InTandem rides originate, but their reach extends far beyond Manhattan. Matthew elaborated, "Our cyclists pedal up over the George Washington Bridge out into all of the boroughs of New York City." There is no fee associated with this. Cyclists are able to use the tandem bikes free of charge.
