The 'Ciegocleta' initiative in Quito, Ecuador, organizes Sunday rides on tandem bicycles for blind people, guided by sighted volunteers. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Franklin Ochoa says that since losing his eyesight 16 years ago, he has started to take on new adventures that he hadn’t thought of when he could see, and it’s all thanks to a bicycle club.
Every Sunday, a group known as the Ciegocleta meets in Ecuador’s capital city of Quito to ride tandem bikes that are steered by volunteers who can see. This initiative opens a new world for blind people and brings joy to their lives.
