National exercise week Geldrop-Mierlo starts with duo bike ride
Sunday, May 18, at 2 p.m., eight duo-bikes from Fietsmaatjes Brabant with residents of De Paladijn and residents from the neighborhood will depart from the Ridderzaal meeting room in De Jonkvrouw for a beautiful bicycle ride on the duo-bike. This is the kickoff of the National Exercise Week in Geldrop-Mierlo.
Bike buddies wanted!
Fietsmaatjes bikes with people who want to get outside but can no longer do so alone. These are the Fietsmaatjes guests. They often have difficulty moving, hearing, seeing, balancing or thinking (as in dementia). Guests are paired with volunteers who also enjoy cycling. Together they cycle on a duo-bike with electric assistance, sitting next to each other.
The local team Fietsmaatjes Geldrop-Mierlo is looking for volunteers who like to go out with a regular guest. Fietsmaatjes Geldrop-Mierlo provides coordination and matching between volunteer and guest. Through this matching, many people also become real buddies.
