Tools for Kids
Specialized Therapy Equipment

Recently, the Queen Alexandra Foundation purchased a number of adapted bikes and trikes for the Queen Alexandra Centre's Toy and Equipment Loan Library. Learning to ride a bike is hard enough for most children. If you live with a physical disability, it can be impossible. These specially designed tricycles for children with disabilities allow children who cannot ride commercial bicycles to pedal like the wind. The bikes have brought great joy (and physical exercise!) to these young people. The bikes are considered very "cool" by all of the children and youth that use them!
