Adult Tandem Bike Riding: Achilles St. Louis in partnership with Cycle St. Louis launched an Adult Tandem Bike Riding Program that takes place every Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm, starting from the Forest Park Visitor Center. Some of the participants haven’t ridden since they were children and it’s clear this program is having a big impact on the well-being of adults with disabilities. Come ride with us or volunteer to help. If you’re interested, email Cycle STL here.
