I know a blind teenager who would love this! He wants to know more about his town - has asked me to describe our surroundings in various locations when we've gone cycling on a 2-passenger quadracycle (built of PVC pipe - see American Speedster's sidekick model, plans available thru internet). He also rides a tandem, and most often a 1-passeneger 2-wheeler beside his friends who tell him when he needs to steer more to the left or right. For those out there who think the blind are leading boring, unproductive lives, read Sabriye Tenberken's "My Path Leads to Tibet" WOW! I know a blind teenager who would love this!
