Wheelchair cab - From pushcrew to bicycle crew
Where previous years all wheelchair users were pushed through the holy meadows of the Zwarte Cross, the push crew was now equipped with VeloPlus wheelchair bikes from Van Raam. No pushing, this year you were cycled across the terrain. The volunteers cycled, with the festival guest on the front of the bike in the wheelchair, through the 'sandbox' zigzagging between the empty plastic glasses to the desired location on the site.Â
