A man who is registered deaf and blind hoped to find a cyclist willing to be his eyes and ears on fun trips around his city on a “bicycle” made for two.
Graham Hicks, 64, from Bretton, Peterborough, was born blind and became profoundly deaf during childhood.
For the past 16 years, he has run his own cycle repair business, but after experiencing issues with his balance, he had to give up his passion for riding tandems in his spare time.
He built a four-wheeled Surrey bike, for two riders seated side by side, and recently made modifications to make it power-assisted, for easier pedalling. He appealed for cyclists who wanted to ride and experience the fresh air with him.
