Getting Started
Thank you for showing an interest in piloting our wheelchair tandem! We hope to begin offering rides to passengers in Spring of 2020, once the weather is comfortable. We’ll plan on having a get-together with interested pilots in the Fall so that you can see the bike and we can discuss any questions you might have.
All pilots must first complete a simple background check with Raleigh’s Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources department. To begin the process, download this application and fill it out. When specifying “Interests” at the bottom of the first page, check “other” and enter “Raleigh Riders.” Email the completed application to Nikki Speer-Raleigh at Nikki.Speer@raleighnc.gov. You’ll only need to complete this process once, even if you continue to volunteer in future years.
Be sure to join the Facebook group for Raleigh Riders pilots. This is where we’ll communicate about scheduling, etc.
Rides will begin and end at the Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center at 5908 Buffaloe Rd.
