Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

I'm an avid cyclist who has participated in several multi-day bike tours, an Ironman, several long-distance, single-day tours (including a 300-mile ride within 23 hours) and other triathlons. I love riding bikes, and now I share the joy of cycling with those who can’t do it on their own.

One morning, I awoke from a dream and instantly felt the need to help the blind ride bikes. I started a group and bought several used tandem bicycles. My dream soon became a reality.

The name of our group is Route 66 Tandem Cyclists. This is our second year of providing tandem bicycle rides for the blind.
