So uplifting but so many more people could cycle if non-standard machines could be subsidised as other mobility aids are.

Does anyone have suggestions for an easier bike helmet clasp? I work with a 71 year-old gentleman who has a variety of disabilities. He lives alone and, of course, values his independence. He rode his bicycle all over town when he was young, but his age and years of seizures have taken a toll on his motor skills. He recently bought an adult trike but he is really struggling with the helmet clasp. I have been looking and even called our local bike shop but I can't seem to find anything that is easier for him to connect and disconnect under his chin. I'm sure there is something out there and I'm hoping someone can help me :-)

Thanx for this video. Question: anyone know if they make tandem tricycles? I'm blind and want to ride with my wife who is much shorter than I. SHe has a difficult time balancing me on a standard two wheeled tandem.

Yeah they're definitely made. Unfortunately they're expensive as they're usually custom built. But they are around. I hope you find one within an affordable price range.
