Elderly on tricycle tandems through the hills of Montferland

Several healthcare institutions in the Netherlands and Belgium have a Fun2Go side-by-side tandem into use since March 2018. Thanks to local campaigns and sponsoring, the financing for these three-wheel tandems has been made possible. Every healthcare institution, including InteraktContour, an institution for people who experience problems because of a brain injury, has its own story. In this article you can read the story of these healthcare institutions.

The residential care facility Wissekerke in Bazel (Belgium) recently has an extra special needs bike, which is the Fun2Go duo bike. The residents can already use the VeloPlus wheelchair bike since 2016, but now they also have a duo bike. Volunteer Garry Pieters has been cycling around 120 wheelchair rides a year since 2016. From now on, the residents can also cycle with the duo bike themselves. Read more about the use of these two special needs bikes at the residential care facility here.

Many health care organisations use the Fun2Go duo bike as a way of transport for the residents and for the caretakers. The reason? Being able to go out again with the residents! In the autumn of 2019, several Fun2Go duo bikes were donated to health care organisations. Read more in this article.

Cycling is a great way to get exercise and stay mobile and active, not to mention it is very healthy. Cycling on a parallel tandem Fun2Go is also very sociable, because you don't sit behind each other, but next to each other. In the recent past many people have got such a bike and are happy to enjoy mobility again. Find out in this article what you report about the bicycle.
