Eleven-year old Juan Lopez and his 9-year old sister Yarelly ride a bike to school in Zipolite, a town in Oaxaca, Mexico. Juan is blind, and yet rides his bike with his sister's help. She perches on the back and signals him which way to steer by pinching his shoulder. If she pinches his right shoulder, for example, he goes right. The harder the pinch, the sharper the turn.
