ABOUT THE DUET:
WHO: This program serves seniors and others who are not able to get out easily on foot.
WHAT: The Duet is a wheelchair and bike combo – the wheelchair is steered from behind by a cyclist on the attached bicycle.
(see photo)
The combo may also be separated upon arrival at a destination, and the volunteer will push the wheelchair on foot.
WHAT: Rides are currently limited to the village of Bellows Falls, but eventually we'll branch out into other areas of Rockingham and beyond.
WHY: The Duet provides opportunities to get out in the fresh air, “stroll” around the village, and connect with the community.
HOW: Trained volunteers pick up passengers at their residence, help them into the wheelchair, fit them with a bike helmet, and go for a leisurely ride. Safety is a priority.
WHEN: Most Friday and Saturday afternoons, and occasionally other weekdays.
COST: Free
