The club is in need of new, sighted cycling
captains. These captains sit at the front of the
bicycle and steer. The club has been growing in
popularity amongst visually impaired riders in
recent years, but the number of captains has
not increased relative to its numbers. The
group often takes part in the Friday Night
Lights rides and other cycling events; without
sufficient numbers of captains, participation is
limited.
