Bike Different's Mission

My main goal in life is to do the most good I can for the most people, and for the natural world we live in, by applying my creative skills and abilities to the one thing that aligns perfectly with my greatest passion in life: Cycling!

I have been riding bikes my whole life.  I have traveled the world by bike, in faraway lands, along beautiful lakes, streams, and ocean beaches, over majestic mountains, around massive glaciers and deep fjords.

I would like to share the joy I have experienced from cycling with others, the exhilaration of getting healthy exercise and breathing in fresh air in the Great Outdoors, the feeling of being a part of nature, experiencing wilderness up close through all your senses, and the freedom of adventure to explore and discover new worlds at a slow, steady pace, with a quiet presence you can only do when cycling.

I believe cycling contributes to a person’s physical and mental well-being in many ways.  I believe that cycling is for everyone, young and old, rich and poor, fully able-bodied people, and people with debilitating disabilities.  I believe cycling can help anyone at any age or ability lead active, healthy, longer lives.  Cycling gives everyone the opportunity to participate in outdoor recreation and exercise, maintain their mobility freedom and independence, encourage community and social involvement, reconnect with nature, and have fun cycling.

I believe the ever-growing, ever-widening variety, range, and types of cycles available, including e-bikes, adaptive trikes, recumbents, tandem bikes, side-by-side bikes, step-through bikes, electric scooters, velomobiles, wheelchair bikes, walking aids, and light electric vehicles, open up a whole new world of mobility solutions for millions of people around the world.

I believe cycling is an eco-friendly, sustainable, practical, economical form of transportation that can help solve many of today’s greatest challenges:  reducing traffic congestion, air, water and land pollution, the obesity epidemic, the loneliness epidemic, deforestation and the loss of habitat and biodiversity, and the greatest challenge of all: lowering carbon emissions to help solve the global warming climate crisis.

For Example, One Big Problem:

The average commuter in the US spends an hour every day driving to and from work, sitting in their cars often stuck in gridlocked traffic jams, wasting time, money and gas, increasing air pollution, global warming, frustration and road rage, and missing out on opportunities for healthy outdoor exercise.

Our Simple Solution:

Bike Different, along with our other companies, Cycle Ability and Senior Cycles, designs, manufactures and sells innovative adaptive and recumbent bikes and trikes that are as easy, as comfortable, and as much fun to ride as driving a car, to encourage more people to ride bikes to work, to school, and anywhere within biking distance from home, instead of driving their cars, to help more people lead healthier lives, reduce their carbon emissions, and do their part to help solve the global warming climate crisis.

Bike More.  Drive Less.  For a Healther Life, a Better World.

It's time to "Think Different" about cycling.

If we all bike more and drive less, we will all live healthier lives, and we will make the world a better place now, and for generations to come.

I hope you’ll join me in making Bike Different's Mission a part of your own personal mission.  And most of all…

 …Have Fun Cycling!
