Renting Van Raam special needs bikes in Belgium
In Flanders (Belgium) G-Sport Vlaanderen has launched the project 'sharing bikes'. Thanks to this project, people with a disability can find locations where they can rent or borrow a special needs bike in Flanders. Read more here.
Sharing platform for special needs bikes in Flanders
Thanks to the sharing platform #GFIETST, everyone has the opportunity to cycle (again) by renting a special needs bike in Belgium. In the overview on gfietst.be you can find rental points throughout Flanders and you can see which types of special needs bikes are offered. These include side-by-side tandems, wheelchair bikes, tandems, rickshaw bikes and tricycles.
Initiative of G-Sport Vlaanderen
The project to rent a special needs bike in Belgium was created and implemented by G-Sport Vlaanderen (G-sport Vlaanderen vzw is the platform to support and promote G-sports in Flanders. In Flanders, they also call sport for people with a disability G-sport). Nele Slabbink of G-Sport Vlaanderen tells HLN about the project: "There is a great demand for special needs bikes from both individuals and organisations. Buying a bicycle yourself is often too expensive and research shows that the rental offer is still too limited. Moreover, there is no good overview of rental locations." In July 2021, there were already 120 rental points and a thousand bicycles for rent/loan throughout Flanders.
