Exsight Tandems Illawarra

Exsight Tandems Illawarra Tandem cycling for riders with low vision or otherwise unable to ride a bicycle solo. Exsight runs entirely on volunteers.

Exsight is a not-for-profit group started in 2008 that aims to get those who wouldn't be able to cycle on their own out exercising and enjoying the wonderful environment in the Illawarra area of New South Wales. We have also branched into other recreational sports for vision impaired people, and we now offer acoustic target shooting as well – we are the only licensed club to do so in Australia. We became incorporated association with members in 2010, and Exsight Tandems Illawarra Inc is now a charity. Exsight operates primarily in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, but we also have members and tandem bikes in Sydney and Armidale, and target shooters in the Illawarra and Sydney.

See this advertisement if you’re interested in getting a good tandem. Exsight got a message from the owner Sharon so I said that I would pass it on.

I couldn’t get the link to facebook marketplace to work so here’s some screenshots. Go to marketplace and search Cannondale T1000 in Sydney

Three Exsight tandems and two solos took part in the Ride for Rotary event today. It was a nippy and windy day but a bit of good fun.
Maria rode with Warren, Annie with Tim and Geoff with Joe. Maria’s friend Joanne rode solo and I rode the recumbent as usual.
We did half a dozen or more laps of the lighthouse circuit and with the ride there and home we each did 30-40km I think.
Our team raised $709 so far and the organisers said the total raised is over $40,000 for Southern Youth and Family Services.
Well done all.

Let’s hope the weather is kind.

🚴‍♂️ Our First Group Ride! 🚴‍♀️

On Sunday morning, we set off on our first group ride from Queen Margaret University to Longniddry Bents. It may have been misty and chilly, but that didn’t dampen our spirits—we had a fantastic time on the tandems!

Joining the ride were two of our new pilots and a new stoker, alongside Shona, Dougie, and Ian from the team. We were on three bikes, which included an Orbit and a Circe, both kindly loaned by Cycling UK East Lothian —amazing bikes that are a joy to ride!

After covering 30km in the saddle, we wrapped up with a well-earned coffee back at Maggie's Café, with plenty of smiles all around. 😃☕🫖

If you haven't already let us know your availability for our next planned rides or wish to enquire about cycling with us, please get in touch.

Introducing Exsight member Maria

Hi I am Maria. Happily married. I am proud mum to Abby my guide dog. I have been bitten by the tandem bug and love riding with Exsight Tandems. Going on a ride is one of the highlights of my week. The coffee and conversation is pretty good too. If you have a disability but would like to try riding I would suggest you get in touch with Exsight and have a chat.

Maria and her captaining friend Joanne are in the right of the photo.
