To learn more about the WHO, WHAT and HOW of the BSC, play the CBS News video above.
The Blind Stokers Club (BSC) has roots from 2005, based on teamwork and mentoring, to introduce and share the simple pleasures of recreational bicycling with those who cannot see well enough to pilot a bike. Birthplace and base camp for the BSC is San Diego, California USA, however you can live anywhere and be a BSC member. The Club operates by forming teams and conducting rides. Teams are composed of 3 parts: stoker, captain, and tandem bike.
