CCBUG RidesAssist Program

The CCBUG RidesAssist program provides people living with vision impairment, and other people living with a disability, on the Central Coast the opportunity to regularly experience the joys and benefits of riding a bicycle in a safe and supported environment.

As a “stoker” on the back of a tandem, with an experienced and accredited ride leader as “pilot” up front, program participants will:

​

• Have the opportunity to participate in a healthy and popular activity – riding a bicycle; something they are not able to do safely on their own. 

• Interact socially with able bodied ride participants and ride leaders:

  • during the ride,

  • at our regular coffee stops, and

  • at other CCBUG events.

​

In addition, our able bodied ride leaders and participants will gain valuable exposure to those living in a vision impaired world or with a disability, helping to create a stronger sense of community for involved Central Coast residents.

All our rides are offered free of charge, although we do encourage regular participants to join CCBUG as members for only $20 per year, and to join Bicycle NSW to obtain insurance cover and to support the peak advocacy cycling body in NSW.
