A Tricycle is Nicycle

Although the BBS spends a lot of time, effort and money on helping people get exactly the wheelchair they need, not everyone with OI needs a wheelchair.

Ben Coyne does not need a wheelchair but, at 9 years old, does need something that would help him get out and about more easily and more often.

The answer came through his Occupational Therapist, who recommended he get a tricycle.

Of course this was not just a case of going to the local bikeshop. The tricycle had to be modified, as with wheelchairs it had to be the right size, have the right wheels and the right seat.

As you can see in the photograph Ben is very happy with his tricycle.

If you think having one of your own is a good idea you can contact Christine at the BBS office to see how we can help.
