Van Raam's Fun2Go duo bike is a tricycle tandem that is often used in the elderly care. Care institutions opt for a duo bike, so that volunteers or employees can cycle together with the elderly and they can (again) get outdoors. Read more about the Fun2Go duo bike in the elderly care.
The Fun2Go is a very versatile bike. Besides being very suitable for the elderly, the Fun2Go can also be used by young people. The advantage of the Fun2Go is that both cyclists do not have to have the same physical condition. Because of the different options both seats can be adjusted as desired. There is always one main driver driving the duo bike. With the Fun2Go you sit next to each other, this allows the supervisor to keep an eye on the co-driver and to communicate well.
At many care institutions it is possible to borrow or rent a duo bike for a day. This gives family members the opportunity to cycle with parents or grandparents who are staying in a care institution. Volunteers of different ages can also cycle with a co-driver, such as the volunteers of Fietsmaatjes. Caretakers and/or supervisors also often cycle with residents.

Care institution Azora in the Netherlands is collaborating on an educational video series about loving care in the field, suitable for employees 'care and welfare' in the elderly care. In this video, carer and activity supervisor Ank is going to cycle together on a Fun2Go duo bicycle with a resident of location Den Es in Varsseveld.
The video shows that living pleasure among residents often also provides to work pleasure. The residents and supervisors have fun by doing things together that match the resident, such as cycling.
The resident in the video spent some time in the hospital, but back from the hospital it turned out that she could no longer cycle. The duo bike makes it possible to cycle again, together with an attendant.
The resident of Den Es: "I looked out of the window and thought: 'What if I could do that again?'. And now I can do it again."
In the Dutch TV program 'Britts Gouwe Ouwen' (Britt's Golden Oldies), host Britt Dekker mingles with the elderly in a nursing home. With her programme, the host wants to inform and inspire people about elder care. Britt provides various activities and goes cycling with some residents of the care facility with the Fun2Go.
