shared the story of the United States’ first trail system that’s fully compatible with adaptive bikes, or bikes that cater to the needs of the disabled. It features a total of 11 trails, and a total distance of three miles. Even more importantly, nobody loses out, as the new trails are equally enjoyable by both abled and disabled.

Whether you watched the video or not, it’s obvious that heavy machinery was used to get the job done, like trackhoes. This isn’t the most low-impact way to work your way through a forest and build a trail, but in places where the landscape doesn’t already lend itself well to a trail, this is the only way to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time.

Toward the end of the video , we start to see how the trail works for adaptive e-bike riders. While there’s extra width, it’s no walking path for the elderly. It actually has tough sections, rocks to traverse, and more. The trail wasn’t complete at first, but the rider was able to finish up what they had done so far and then needed some help to get turned around and back up a section only meant for downhill adaptive riding.
