Wheelers

Wheelers

This has totally changed my life. I have MS, and I get to ride? I’m learning about Portland. I’m meeting new people. I’m doing more now than I ever did. I’m a social person, so it gets me out of my house, out in the fresh air, and connecting with other fabulous people. What you do for people who just can’t get out and ride a bike is incredible. It’s life-changing for me!

Our wheelers are people unable to ride a bike by themselves. There are no age limitations for our wheelers. We have enjoyed riding with wheelers from age five to one hundred and eight! Many of our wheelers live in residential facilities or attend day programs that partner with Portland Wheelers to provide our unique ride experience.

We also serve individuals who may not be associated with one of our ride partners. Families and friends can bring wheelers to us for rides at designated locations in the Portland area.

Ideally, wheelers have enough upper body strength to sit up for the duration of a short ride.  Wheelers can seat themselves on our trikes or can be assisted by caregivers or family members to transfer onto the trike.

The front half of our trikes can detach and serve as a free-standing wheelchair. This can be wheeled into a room where a mechanical lift can transfer a wheeler into the seat. The wheelchair is then reattached to the trike, and we’re ready to go for a ride! Learn more about our trikes.

We are able to accommodate those who need to bring an oxygen tank with them.
