Check the base bike stock, look over the higher end bikes in the consignment section or pick the dates and duties you can volunteer for. More information about the Bike Exchange is at www.BikeExchangeNJ.org.

Captains for Every Stoker

Give the gift of cycling to a disabled rider

We all love to cycle – that’s why we’re members of the Princeton Freewheelers. There are folks that are blind, visually impaired or disabled in other ways that love to cycle too. But their disability requires them to be partnered with a captain on a tandem bicycle. There is a need in our community for more cyclists to ride with the disabled. Perhaps one of those cyclists is you! But don’t worry...you are not required to make commitments about when and how often you ride with a disabled stoker. You may want to captain the tandem once a year or twice a month on training rides. Your stokers will appreciate any riding time you share with them!
