In Nieuw Buitenzorg, 9 homes in Leiderdorp, the Netherlands, people with severe multiple disabilities live in a unique location. They are looked after by a team of supervisors. The foundation 'Stichting Vrienden van Nieuw Buitenzorg' provides that little bit extra that the government does not finance. They have sponsored money so that a wheelchair bicycle could be purchased for the residents, who can now enjoy the wind blowing through their hair while cycling with the cargo bike.
