Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get around the city in a wheelchair? Thanks to the Skarrozzata di Bologna you can find out. The event is an initiative that organises wheelchair tours around different Italian cities for anyone who wants first-hand experience of being disabled.
As we've been telling you, Antxon (paraplegic, Navarra) is on a 3,022-kilometre journey across Europe with a handbike and wheelchair, travelling from Copenhagen to San Sebastian to document issues associated with biodiversity. They have already successfully completed the first half of their journey and we're here to tell you about it.
Joan Lascorz, quadriplegic rally driver, took first place in the buggies category at the Baja Aragón. Lascorz, who competes in CERTT alongside drivers without disabilities, has once again shown that he is an exceptional driver, before and after his spinal injury.
We're still far from universal accessibility, but every day there are new projects aimed at making all countries accessible for people with disabilities. Some users wanted to show us how accessible their cities are using our handbikes. Now we want to share them with you!
ParaBaja Step by Step will be at Baja Aragón 2016 for the third year in a row. This initiative allows people with reduced mobility to participate in non-competitive events on some sections of the official track. Who wants a dose of pure adrenaline? Get it with "Experiencia Baja".
From 22 to 24 July, Teruel will host the 33rd Baja Aragón, one of the toughest, most hardcore tests on the CERTT (Spanish National All-Terrain Rally Championship). For the second year in a row, Joan "Jumbo" Lascorz, quadriplegic driver and member of our #BatecRapidTeam, will compete with his co-driver Sergi Brugué.
