From Hilary Staples, an enthusiastic cyclist, we received an email about the duo bike Fun2Go. During one of her bicycle tours, together with Steven, she met two men riding on the double rider cycle.

With this story about special needs bikes, she hopes that it will inspire people with disabilities to cycle.
