Help RETINA SOUTH AFRICA with 30 volunteers for a visually impaired cystlist as their tandem partner
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Retina South Africa is looking for volunteers to join our growing pool of tandem cycling pilots - sighted cyclists who ride at the front of a tandem bicycle, empowering people living with vision loss to experience the joy and challenge of cycling. Our para-athletes are training to take part in the Dis-Chem Ride for Sight in February 2026, with training rides starting October 2025. This is a unique opportunity to share your love of cycling, make a real difference, and help build an inclusive sporting community. Why volunteer as a pilot? • Give someone with vision loss the chance to participate in cycling events. • Train together and form a rewarding partnership built on trust and teamwork. • Help break barriers and grow para sport in South Africa. If you’re keen to ride and make an impact, opt in to volunteer on ForGood. Contact us at https://bit.ly/RideforSightVolunteerTandemPilot - or email sport@rideforsight.co.za Let’s ride for inclusion, purpose, and sight.

Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
