Creating Bicycles for the Disabled
Many people enjoy the freedom of riding a bicycle around town. Many would love to but physical limitations prevent them from trying.
The Adaptive Cycling Center of Berkeley, California has been tackling this problem. They design bicycles to fit the specific needs of the rider. Perhaps you can’t use your right arm. The center has designed a bike especially for you.
One of the most interesting things the ACC offers is free bicycle rentals. A person with special needs can go to the center, take a bike out for the day, and pay nothing. They got a multitude of bicycles for all sorts of needs in youth and adult sizes.
