Sequim Wheelers

Free Wheelchair-Bike Rides, offering fresh air and sunshine on a bike. The Sequim Wheelers are looking forward to serving the disabled, young and elderly, with an enjoyable bike ride on the Olympic Discovery Trail!

Free Community Service

Sequim Wheelers, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), is the fifth program of this kind in the US. We offer FREE wheelchair bike rides on a Duet Wheelchair Bicycle to our elderly and disabled community members, including children. Trained volunteers provide 45 minute to one hour long rides on the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) in Sequim. 

Our goal is to build an inclusive community where everyone can enjoy our amazing ODT without the limitations of physical capabilities.

The Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge, a location convenient to the ODT, has graciously agreed to store our bike.

Explore our website whether you would like a ride on the Duet Bike, sign-up to be a volunteer, or make a donation to this wonderful free service to our community. Thank you so much!

About the Bike Chairs

The Duet™ is an orthopedically shaped fiberglass wheelchair attached to the back half of a bicycle with a battery assist pack to aid on hills and provide a smoother ride.

The chair has good suspension and light handling, and its off-road tires are excellent on gravel and dirt tracks. There are twin drum brakes on the chair's wheel, and a back-pedal brake on the cycle wheel.

The bikes can accommodate both a rider up to 240 pounds and a passenger up to 240 pounds. The battery assist enables trained volunteers of all ages and athletic abilities to volunteer to pedal.
