Wheelchair Bikes, what an idea!

Have you ever heard of Wheelchair Bikes? Well, this a unique and a fun way of cycling when the passenger mobility is limited and a cyclist pedals on his bike to move both as a tandem.

This kind of bikes give you the ability to go out for a bike ride and if you have the split frame bike version, you can unhitch and securely lock the back end. This will allow you to go for a walk into the city for shopping or a coffee.

Riding a Wheelchair bike is very different to riding a normal bicycle. It is not meant for super fast cycling or off road trails. Because it is essentially a trike and not a bike, it needs a much wider turning circle. Take bends very slowly and carefully and don?t lean into a bend like you would on a normal bike. Also it is much more difficult to cycle up hill on this type of bike, so staying on fairly flat cycle paths is recommended. Once you get used to it, it is very pleasant to ride.
