Peloton recently hosted InTandem – an organization that offers free tandem cycling programs for people who are blind, have low vision, or need assistance riding due to other disabilities – at Peloton Studios New York (PSNY).
A group from the organization joined instructor Christine D’Ercole for a 30 minute Rock Ride on Friday, February 20 at 5:30pm ET. The class is available in the on-demand library for all members to enjoy.
Peloton Studios shared a behind-the-scenes look at the experience via Instagram, writing:
Stronger together, always. 💛
@intandembike adaptive athletes came to the studio for a ride grounded in community!
The video shows in-studio participants getting set up on their bikes and expressing their excitement for the class with Christine, as well as sharing their thoughts after the class.
InTandem is a non-profit organization that helps expand access to cycling for people with disabilities by offering adaptive tandem riding opportunities that also foster connection and community. The group hosts evening and weekend rides in Central Park, pairing participants on tandem bikes based on experience level, riding style, and personal goals. Both front riders and rear riders receive training to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Based in New York City, the program supports a growing network of hundreds of cyclists and continues to welcome new participants to join its rides.
InTandem posted about the experience on their own Instagram page as well, writing:
Last Friday, the InTandem community was treated to the amazing experience of a 30 Minute Rock Ride with Christine D’Ercole (@iamicaniwillido) live at @pelotonstudios in NYC! Our Captains and Stokers worked up a sweat in a challenging, fun and inclusive class. The music was upbeat, the ride was intense, and the energy was at an all-time-high. We are SO very grateful to our friends at @onepeloton for hosting us, with a special shout-out to our incredible InTandem volunteer, Emma, for helping make this event happen. Thank you to those who joined us virtually and in person for the ride!
They also shared a group photo with Christine after the class, as well as a photo of a guide dog posed in front of the Peloton logo in the lobby.
