Buddy Bike at 2006 Family Cafe Conference

On June 2-4, we attended the Family Cafe Conference at The Royal Caribbean Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. We took several Buddy Bikes with us and spent the weekend giving rides to the children, many of whom had never ridden a bike before or were incapable of riding a bike on their own.

As a result of this show, we are researching seat adaptations or bike seats that could be sold as optional additions to accommodate children that have difficulty with balance.

We are also researching various funding options to make the Buddy Bike attainable for more families with special needs children. View our Funding Options page for more information.

Our next conference appearance with be in November 2006 at the World Congress and Expo on Disabilities in Philadelphia, PA.
