What type of adaptive bike is for you?

Mountain Bikes

Adaptive mountain bikes are designed to provide off-road cycling experiences for individuals with disabilities. They feature modifications such as wider tires, lower gearing, and additional support systems to accommodate rough terrain and varying abilities. Adaptive mountain bikes can be tailored to the specific needs of the rider, allowing them to explore new trails and enjoy the challenges and exhilaration of mountain biking.

Handcycles

Handcycles are specifically designed to be propelled by the rider’s arms instead of their legs. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals with lower body disabilities or limited leg strength. Handcycles come in various styles, including upright, recumbent, and trikes, catering to different preferences and needs.

Recumbents

Recumbent bikes offer a reclined riding position, which can be more comfortable and supportive for riders with back pain, neck pain, or limited flexibility. The reclined position also reduces pressure on the rider’s hands and wrists, making it a suitable option for individuals with upper body limitations. Recumbents come in various styles, including upright and low-slung models, catering to different preferences and needs.
