I remember someone on this forum was involved in a stoker programme for blind cyclists. I am interested in becoming involved or starting a programme in my community' so any information would be helpful.
Thanks

Not sure which one you're referring to as there are several. A few of them are listed and linked from here: http://home.att.net/~thetandemlink/TLLinks.html
Here is a link to the United States Association of Blind Athletes ( http://www.usaba.org/index.html ). Based on the way that you spelled program I am guessing that you are not in the U.S. but hopefully the link will help.

Also check out the Achilles Track Club--they are a national, international organization. See if they have anything going on in your locale. Here in NYC there is an informal tandem riding group that works with Achilles. Don't have the website, but it's easily googled.
