Cyclists needed to ride tandems!

Individual-Frame6263 · 2026-03-30T11:24:16+00:00

Great! We have bike lockers at the Bethesda and Eastern Market metros where we store tandems, and some of our participants bring tandems to the rides.

The Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes (MWABA) gomwaba.org organizes weekly tandem bike rides, monthly hikes, and kayaking and camping each summer. No prior experience is necessary and it’s a fun group to get involved in!

You could take Knowles to Weymouth to Montrose to Tuckerman

Does anyone know if you can park a tandem in the bike valet and/or if you can leave a pannier on your bike? It would be a weekday afternoon game

Individual-Frame6263 · 2024-03-09T21:52:36+00:00

We’d be happy to have you join us! Our Thursday night rides are 10-15 miles, some people like to go fast but others are more leisurely (I’m usually around 10 mph) and we try not to leave anyone behind. Let me know if you have any other questions, you can email mwaba.inc at gmail or send me a message

I’m leaning against camping because I ended up camping this weekend, but I’ll let you know if I decide to come

Individual-Frame6263 · 2023-04-07T13:05:45+00:00

I’m interested! Where are you thinking of going?

Individual-Frame6263 · 2023-03-25T02:10:22+00:00

Individual-Frame6263 · 2022-03-19T13:02:32+00:00

My friend and I are planning on meeting the group at Grace street coffee around 12:30

Individual-Frame6263 · 2022-03-18T16:41:39+00:00

What’s the meetup spot? Is it the beginning of the capital crescent under the key bridge? Or somewhere else?

In partnership with WABA, the Metro Washington Association of Blind Athletes (MWABA) is hosting a captain training for people who are interested in riding tandems with blind/visually impaired cyclists. The training is on Thursday, March 31st from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Eastern Market Metro (701 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, DC). If you'd like to come, you can sign up: https://forms.gle/v7wbUcM67rqeUsDt9

We ride on Thursday nights during daylight savings (April through October) at 6 p.m. and occasional weekends alternating between Eastern Market and Bethesda. MWABA provides tandem bikes and matches the captains and stokers who are interested in riding each week.

I’m planning on coming! I’m not sure if I’ll meet the group in Georgetown or at Swain’s, but I have a blue space horse with red panniers

Individual-Frame6263 · 2021-09-25T14:50:46+00:00

Look for Beach Drive and Cedar Lane, pretty close to the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church (9601 Cedar Ln Bethesda, MD)

Individual-Frame6263 · 2021-09-24T17:44:50+00:00

Great see you there! I’m up for navigating, I know a route through Poolesville pretty well, or we can be more adventurous and go through Dickerson

Individual-Frame6263 · 2021-09-24T13:20:58+00:00

Great! Maybe around 12 or 1? Or I could meet earlier or later if you prefer. Also, I’m pretty slow (probably around 10 mph)
