Buddy Bike, Alternative Tandem Bicycle, Adaptive & Therapeutic Cycling for Special Needs. Here is a link to an adaptive bicycle that I have seen until today. Thanks to Travis Prebble for finding this. The bike is petty ingenious from the looks of it. P.S. The volume for this video is a little loud.

“A Medical Necessity” Part 1
written by James S. I have been doing some research recently on the positive effects that bicycling can have on children and adults with disabilities.

That bike is the Lightfoot Cycles Two-Fun, a hybrid tandem that features a full recumbent trike up front and the rear 2/3 of an upright bike in the back. The Two-Fun is ideal in [...]

The parameters were fairly straightforward: satisfactory gear inch range; adjustable foot rest position; seat that won’t be a problem for spine curvature.

The utility of the Trets was that it was a recumbent trailerbike into which a child with limited trunk support could be strapped and still have access to his/her own set of pedals. It also employed a 7 speed shifter and a freewheel to [...]
