The side by side tricycle is a three-wheeled cycle that allows two riders to sit and communicate next to each other. This is a great option for those who are hesitant to ride or have anxiety about riding alone. It allows both riders the opportunity to steer, brake, and easily control speed while pedaling independently. There is a basket on the back for luggage.
The recumbent bicycle is for riders with good balance, but who want more back and truck support. The recumbent bicycle is also for those who are anxious about a standard pedal bike that's high off the ground and want a relaxed seat that's easy to put your feet down.
The tandem tricycle is an adaptive tricycle built for two! It offers everyone, individuals with special needs and their friends and family, the chance to get some exercise in the great outdoors. The Rear Driver propels and steers the bike. The Front Rider contributes to propulsion of the tricycle as he or she is able. Even if they aren’t pedaling, the Front Rider can enjoy outdoor mobility and inclusion in the fun of outdoor recreation. Front Riders with mild to significant physical impairment can be safely accommodated.
The adult tricycle offers more stability for those who struggle with balance on a two-wheeled bicycle. This trike does not offer back or trunk support, and requires an upright seating posture. There is a basket on the back for luggage.
The two-wheeled tandem offers all the features of a two-wheeled bicycles while allowing for two riders. The tandem bicycle has a step-through frame allows riders to get on and off easily. The front rider, or captain, should be a confident bicyclist who is able to balance and generate a powerful start. The rear seat is great for the visually impaired, individuals who need problem-solving support, and those who are apprehensive about balancing a two-wheeled bicycle on their own.
The hand tricycle upright provides an opportunity for people with limited mobility below the waist to ride independently. The hand tricycle is also ideal for those in need of back or trunk support. Some upper body strength is needed in order to pedal.
The low-step through bicycle is good for riders with limited ability to lift their legs over a seat or even over a higher step through frame. While this bike still requires good balance on your ride, it's good for someone with more limited motion in their knees or who struggles to balance on one foot while mounting a bicycle.
The hand tricycle sport provides an opportunity for people with limited mobility below the waist to ride independently. The hand tricycle is also ideal for those in need of back or trunk support, but unlike the hand tricycle upright, it's slightly more reclined and your legs are in front of you providing a more athletic posture intended for speed. Some upper body strength is needed in order to pedal.
The cargo bicycle allows riders to transport materials or service animals with them on their ride. The cargo bicycle requires a confident cyclist with good balance who is strong enough to pedal both themselves and whatever they're bringing in the cargo bucket.
NOTE: The Cargo Bicycle is not equipped to accommodate people of any age inside the cargo bin.
"My wife is 86 years old with Primary Progressive Aphasia (Difficulty Speaking) and Early-Stage Alzheimer Disease along with mobility issues (She uses a cane to walk). She always liked walking and riding a bike on the trails, unfortunately now she is limited to short slow walks. The [Side-by-Side Tricycle] worked perfectly and it was a very pleasant afternoon with the other trail users smiling and waving as we rode by.”

"This was wonderful! Exercise has been really hard since being diagnosed with POTS (especially outdoors) and this was a really fun way for me to be able to ride a bike and be outside without the usual concerns I have with outdoors exercise.”

“I LOVED this program, thank you for doing this! I am an apprehensive bike rider but thoroughly enjoy the tandem experience with my husband!”
