Tip 1. Learn to ride on your adapted bike

Maybe you cycle away on your new Van Raam bike, then that's great. But many people have to get used to cycling on an adapted bicycle. So don't cycle too fast at first and practise regularly in calm, flat surroundings. With a tricycle, for example, you are wider because of the three wheels and steering is a bit different than on a two-wheel bike.
