With its updated design to suit all types of people. It includes seniors with limited mobility and solo travelers. The Alinker aims to help people with disabilities get out and about with increased ease. Additionally, the stand-up bike reduces the stigma around disability and normalizes different levels of ability.
Throughout the recent pandemic, a major concern that emerged for society was the problem of isolation. The fallout from isolation and loneliness was significant, giving rise to many mental health issues. Alinker recognizes that the problem of isolation lies in a society that often dismisses those who are different, creating a barrier between people. The Alinker walking bike is designed to counteract isolation, allowing differently-abled people to connect more readily with others.
There are many proven benefits associated with the use of the Alinker device. These include the ability for disabled individuals to be at eye-level with family, friends, and colleagues; a renewal of muscle strength and flexibility; more agency and less fatigue; brain exercise for enhanced neuroplasticity; and a reduced need for medication.
With the Alinker, people are able to enjoy activities that may previously have been less accessible for them, such as hiking, trail walking, and travel. Further information on how the Alinker works can be viewed here: https://thealinker.com/pages/how-it-works
The company stresses the fact the Alinker is not a medical device – rather, it is a facilitator for improved living. A company spokesperson says, “We are not a solution to a problem because we don’t see disabilities as a problem to fix. Disabilities are human and we all have them, in one form or another.”
The Alinker is used all around the world by individuals with many different types of challenges, including Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, stroke effects, and other conditions. With an adjustable saddle and handlebars, it is suitable for all body types and helps challenge societal concepts about disability.
