Moving again, together

This page is written in Easy Read English, with short sentences and simple words.

Les Roues Solidaires takes you out for a bike ride. The bike is called the OuiCycle. Several people pedal it together. You go outside, you pedal and you talk with other people. You go at your own pace.

01

The OuiCycle, a bike for everyone

  • The OuiCycle is a group bike. Several people pedal on the same bike.
  • Each person pedals at their own pace.
  • Getting on the bike is easy, even if you find it hard to move around.
  • The bike welcomes older people, but also families and children.
  • With the OuiCycle, cycling is possible for everyone at last.
02

What happens in a session?

  • We organise OuiCycle outings and regular cycle therapy sessions.
  • Cycle therapy means riding a bike to take care of your health.
  • A driver steers the bike and leads the outing. The driver keeps the group safe.
  • We adapt each session to the people who take part.
  • You can ask us to come and show you the bike. You do not have to say yes afterwards.
03

Who is it for?

  • We come to EHPAD. These are French care homes for older people who need nursing care.
  • We also come to assisted living residences, to help the residents stay independent.
  • We work with towns, so that cycling is open to everyone who lives there.
  • Today, 21 facilities work with us.
  • We have already run more than 350 sessions.
04

What it brings you

  • Gentle pedalling keeps your body and your muscles working.
  • Talking and riding past places you know helps your memory.
  • Sounds, light and fresh air wake up your senses.
  • Going out as a group creates bonds between people.
  • Dominique lives in an EHPAD. She says: “I feel alive again! When is the next session?”

Les Roues Solidaires, a social programme born from the OuiCycle.

The OuiCycle out on a ride through the city: the smiling driver-facilitator and the passengers on board.

A vehicle that puts the user back at the centre. Outings that make
cycling inclusive at last.

Cycling without the drawbacks

Our solution: OuiCycle outings and regular cycle therapy sessions.
All of it led by a driver-facilitator, in a safe and stimulating setting.
Our programme is modular, to fit the specific needs of the people you support.

1 unique service, built around 2 strands

Our cycle therapy programme works on 4 dimensions:

Motor

Everyone pedals at their own pace: physical activity is about enjoyment first.

Cognitive

Chatting and riding through familiar places stimulates cognitive function.

Sensory

Sounds, light, fresh air: the user takes in the surroundings to the full.

A solution that is proving itself.
