Great Idea! Bike Riding For The Blind And Visually Impaired In Mexico City

Paula Alvarado, 28 July 2010, Argentina: TreeHugger - Cars & Transportation (bikes)

The rides are guided by volunteers on tandem bikes, and are offered on Sunday mornings, when a few streets in the historical center of the city are closed for pedestrians and human powered vehicles. What does this do for these people? More than you would think. Find out inside.
