    The LEVA-EU member announced that its duo bikes are now being used by Fietsmaatjes Brabant, an initiative that fosters social connection and inclusivity through shared cycling experiences.

    Van Raam expressed its pride in supporting the programme, noting that it witnesses daily how transformative cycling can be for individuals of all ages and abilities. Through the Fietsmaatjes Brabant organisation, people who are no longer able to cycle independently can once again enjoy the freedom and joy of cycling by being paired with a volunteer “cycling buddy” who rides alongside them on a specially designed side-by-side tandem bike. The Fiestmaatjes Brabant initiative is operational in 13 municipalities across the Brabant region.

    The initiative promotes inclusive mobility, ensuring that everyone, regardless of physical ability, can participate in outdoor activities and community engagement. A video released by Brabant Sport demonstrating the fun connections made possible through cycling together can be viewed here.
