JUST because you’re in a wheelchair or can’t get around like you used to, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun part of life.

And WheelAdventures, a new service on the Sun­shine Coast, is there to deliver the fun.

WheelAdventures provides people with the chance to experience the thrill of seeing Queens­land’s picturesque Sun­shine Coast and hinterland in a motorcycle sidecar de­signed specially for wheelchairs.

“This is a much-needed ser­vice on the Sunshine Coast which has an increasing number of mobility-challenged locals and visitors each year,” said owner-operator James Loughran.

“WheelAdventures is the only business that is totally dedicated to the chair-bound. It doesn’t matter whe­ther you’re 16 or 60, we can design a safe, fun and exciting riding experience just for you.

Richard Jenkinson, 75, of Palmwoods, had the ride of his life through the hinterland and Glasshouse Moun­tains region.

“It was a thoroughly exhil­arating experience,  and one that I would highly recommend to anyone,” he said.

“The people at Wheel­Adventures  under­­stand and cater for people like me with special needs.”

The company is fully accredited with Queens­­land Transport and has all the necessary insurances in place.
