I suggest contacting area bike shops, as they are familiar with the cycling clubs in their area, and may want to sponsor you.

Also, I have seen several blind veterans using a recumbent trike, which offsets any balance issue

Good morning, George, and other blinks who dig riding,

For me, I have found spinning (intense workouts on a stationary
bike() an answer to being able to eat what I want and ride. No, it definitelly isn't as cool as riding outside, but if you supllement your appetite for the bike by spinning, you hneed not be too concerned with a prospective pilot, and his schedule. Just a thought, but you'll have to find a gym tha has a spinning program.
Good luck! Car11:20 AM 9/14/2014, George McDermith via Sportsandrec wrote:
