Alicante

The adapted bike service of Alicante is integrated into the programs of the Lukas Foundation Center.The program has six adapted electric bicycles, a trailer to transport them and two wehoo children’s trailers.

All these elements allow a wonderful leisure activity which can be enjoyed by the whole family and offers undoubted therapeutic advantages, benefits in the cognitive and motor area of the people with disability. These adapted bicycles facilitate the use of the two pieces together or the use of the chair independently as a support or walk chair.

And on the other hand, Wehoo trailers are suitable for children who can pedal and do not exceed 37 kilos. Taking into account all these benefits, we decided to offer this service free of charge throughout the year to the members of our Foundation, and it has been achieved thanks to a shared grant from the Rotary clubs of Alicante, Meppel and Vlissingen with the help of the Rotary Foundation and the subsequent subsidies of the AMA Foundation and the Regional Ministry of the Valencian Government.

On March 7, 2020 we inaugurated the new adapted bicycle service in Madrid Río, in a bicycle shop for everyone called MOBEO, but currently the service is suspended due to the restrictions imposed due to the Covid19 pandemic. More information at www.bicisfundacionlukas.org

Following the success of the project in Alicante, Fundación Lukas developed a successful fundraising campaign, with the collaboration of the families of the E.E San Rafael School, which culminated in the launch of this project also in Madrid. Thus today we can offer this service of adapted bicycles to users and organizations in the Community of Madrid, thanks to the collaboration of Fundación Mapfre, Fundación Repsol, Maxxium and Bankinter.

Currently we have three electric bikes adapted for people with disabilities, a weehoo (semi-tandem to carry children from 2 to 8 years old), two touring bikes for companions, a trailer to be able to move the bikes if necessary, and the Latest addition: a new bike model called Fun2Go that allows users to pedal in parallel.
