As soon as it's nice cycling weather, I will cycle 15 kilometers a day. I try to cycle every day a bit, for example to do some grocery shopping or just recreational.
I live on the eastern edge of the Veluwe (forest-rich ridge of hills in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands) and cycle there regularly. On the Veluwe are sometimes shell paths, but most bicycle paths are made of tar. Both structures cycle well with the Balance bike.
Adaptive bicycle via the municipality
I received my adaptive bike through the municipality. At the time I could make a test ride through Apeldoorn to see if the two-wheeled bike with low step through was suitable for me. This was the case and I have been riding my Tavara Balance with great pleasure for over 10 years now. Occasionally a mechanic comes by and the bike gets a check, that's all.
Insurance on an adaptive bike
In the first years that I used my bike, it had to be visible that the bike was insured. I had to make a yellow vehicle registration plate on my bike. I got a new plate every year.
Getting attention with an adaptive bike
In the beginning, my Tavara Balance was new in our village. Nobody had seen such a bike before. I have received a lot of compliments about my bicycle several times. I can recommend Van Raam, because it is unique that such a thing could be made!
