Recreation Opportunity for Those With Adaptive Needs

For organizations serving individuals with special needs, recreation is about much more than physical activity. It can create opportunities for connection, confidence, independence, and shared experiences. The Worksman Cycles Side by Side Team Dual Tricycle helps make those experiences possible by allowing two people to enjoy cycling together, side by side.

Unlike a traditional bicycle or tricycle designed around an individual rider, the Worksman Side by Side puts two riders next to each other. This unique configuration allows an able rider to accompany a rider who may benefit from additional support, encouragement, or companionship.

For special-needs organizations, adaptive recreation programs, schools, camps, residential communities, and other organizations supporting people with differing abilities, that simple idea can have a meaningful impact.

Rather than separating participants by ability, the Side by Side creates an opportunity to participate together.

A staff member, caregiver, volunteer, family member, or friend can ride alongside an individual with special needs, turning cycling into a cooperative experience. Riders can enjoy the outdoors, interact with one another, and experience the sights, sounds, and movement of cycling as a team.

That shared experience is at the heart of the Side by Side concept.

For an organization developing an inclusive recreation program, equipment such as the Side by Side can help expand the ways participants engage with staff, volunteers, family members, and their community. A ride can become an opportunity for conversation and social interaction while giving participants another enjoyable way to get outside and stay active.

The benefits can extend to families as well. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and other loved ones may have very different cycling abilities, but the Side by Side offers a way for them to experience a ride together rather than having one person watch from the sidelines.

The Side by Side also reflects a philosophy that has long been central to Worksman Cycles: bicycles and tricycles can be practical tools that serve real people and real communities.

Worksman Cycles has been building cycles in America since 1898, and its product line has evolved over generations to serve commercial, recreational, and specialty applications. The Side by Side Team Dual Tricycle applies that experience to a particularly important purpose — helping more people experience the enjoyment of cycling together.

For special-needs organizations seeking to expand inclusive recreation opportunities, the Worksman Side by Side offers more than another piece of cycling equipment. It offers the possibility of a shared experience.

Because sometimes the most important part of a bicycle ride isn’t how far you travel.

It’s who gets to ride beside you.
