Freedom Wheels: TAD NSW


The FREEDOM WHEELS customised bike program modifies standard push bikes to give a new kind of independence to children with disabilities by allowing them to ride a bike for the first time.


For most children, their first bike ride is a rite of passage. But for children with a disability, this can seem unachievable.With the help of a highly skilled and innovative team of therapists, engineers and volunteers at TAD, children with disabilities can now enjoy mobility and a form of recreation previously unavailable to them.


Technical Aid for the Disabled (TAD) creates highly customised bikes at popular bike clinics where clients are examined and assessed. The bikes are then modified to suit the particular needs of each child.
