Blind cyclists conquer the Jerichower Land on new e-tandems!

When the pedals go crazy and pass the landscape, blind and visually impaired people have the opportunity to enjoy the freedom of tandem driving. The time cannot be stopped, but enthusiasm and community are timeless. This also applies to the annual tours in Jerichower Land, which are organized by Monika Möller and the district group Saxony-Anhalt's north of the blind and visually impaired association. Möller, who had the idea for tandema at a blind festival in Hanover more than 15 years ago, looks back on a successful story.

This tour has been taking place since 2013, and this year more than 30 participants from different federal states have come together to take the varied route under the wheels. On August 8, the cyclists of Bertingen opened, crossed the charming landscape around Rogätz and ventured to a ferry crossing to Schartau. Finally, the destination of the trip is the fishing company Reinhard Riedel in Zerben, followed by another section to Ferchland, where there is another ferry crossing to Grieben. The tour goes over around 150 kilometers and ends on August 10th with a sociable tour around Tangerhütte.

new e-tandems for more mobility

Joy is great, because Aktion Mensch recently donated two new e-tandems to the blind and visually impaired association. Monika Möller was present at the handover and emphasized how important this donation is for the group's fleet. Such support is of immense importance, because in particular, blind and visually impaired people can achieve a lot. the DBSV emphasizes that tandemae is a perfect way to be active together and enjoy the beauty of nature.

sport knows no boundaries - not only the tandem drivers in Jerichow's Land prove that, but also numerous other sports that can exercise blind and visually impaired people. At Jerichower Land is more than just a sporting activity. It is a sign of hope and proof that barriers can be overcome - with a little courage and a good hand for adventure. The great interest in this traditional event is justified. Who can resist?
