Our Goal
Our program developed an environment mobility group that will provide transportation (short distance) to individuals with disabilities.
In simple words we are creating a buddy system that will help individuals with disabilities to ride an adaptive bicycle in short distances to do their everyday activities like errands, appointments and shopping.
Our program will decrease:
the use of cars creating/improving the air (clean/no pollution)
Traffic
transportation expenses
and will increase health benefits to individuals that will never thought will have the option to use a bicycle to commute due to their disabilities.
Why ???
AdaptAbility believes that the improvement of physical health, self-esteem, and independence can be achieved with the use of a bicycle. Now with adaptive bicycles, individuals living with disabilities can experience all the different uses that a bicycle can offer.
AdaptAbility is providing the opportunity to individuals with disabilities to experience this creation and make it part of their life. Individuals with disabilities will take advantage of exercise, while improving their mobility, improving muscle strength, experiencing the outdoors in a completely different way and commuting in short distances all this with the use of an adaptive bicycle.
Our program will be providing an opportunity to remove barriers by increasing different ways of transportation and reducing pollution.
