The Buddy Bike provides the alternative to tandem cycling, tag-alongs, trikes and infant seats. The Buddy Bike offers special needs children an opportunity for adaptive outdoor recreation and therapeutic activity. The Buddy Bike places the smaller rider in front where the parent, therapist, teacher or camp leader can supervise and give words of encouragement by talking directly into the ear of the child rider rather than shouting back in the wind. Special needs children are no longer left behind on family bike rides. Riding out in front, the child riders, many of whom might not otherwise be able to ride a bike, feel the wind in their face and are able to receive sensory input with an unobstructed view. Many of our customers state that their children are more alert and responsive after riding their Buddy Bike and that they feel that they fit in by being able to do what other kids do.
