Down Syndrome and Hypotonia go hand in hand. With extra stretchy muscles it requires more energy to complete daily tasks. Riding a bike requires full body engagement. However with an adaptive bike KJ can have the comfort in appropriate seating to support his trunk and focus on just pushing the pedals. We would like a tandem style to allow for longer distance rides as a family where someone can help support and do the work when he tires out.
