The Buddy Bike
Bike riding as a family can be a challenge for families with children and loved ones who have special needs. Many of our customers tell us they used to cycle regularly, but once their child with special needs outgrew the baby seats, tag-alongs, and other small child rider options, they were at a loss. Learn how The Buddy Bike can help your child lead the ride!
"Best decision I have ever made purchasing this bike!...All I wanted to see my entire life is to see my son enjoy/embrace the things like riding a bike that make for great memories as a child. Now has this opportunity thanks to you all!!"
- David O.
"I just want you to know that the bike is the real deal. My 9 year old autistic son loves it. It's a solid, well built bike and if your son likes to ride a bike, this will be perfect. By the way, I don't get anything back from praising the bike, my reward is a happy child."
- Kruno O.
