- “We’re not invincible, we’re all mortal and that is what we have in common with each other.” -Barbara Alink
Barbara Alink, creator of the Alinker, is here to talk about this groundbreaking device. The Alinker is a non-motorized walking-bike without pedals. It is for everyone who wants to maintain an active life regardless of their movement abilities/disabilities. The Alinker is designed to be so cool that it overcomes the uneasiness towards disabilities that is felt by mainstream society. It is challenging assumptions about people with disabilities and is striving to build a more inclusive community. Watch, and find out how the Alinker is changing the lives of people all over the world.
I really hope we can get one of these for my 75 year old neighbor and dear friend. I want to see her smile big at having more mobility back and not being in pain while walking. So she can walk next to her husband, grandchildren and her newest great grandchild all with ease she has not had for many years. 🤞🤞 We are having a secret meeting at my house today to see if it will be possible. I really really hope it is. To see her happy and moving with less pain would be the best early Christmas gift EVER!
That sounds wonderful! Did you manage to get one for her?
I’m 60 and developed RA when I was 58 little by little
It’s been hindering my mobility I can’t walk long distances knees my lower back and hips hurt. I go to the gym but can’t use all the machines I want I gave away my bike. I need this machine for my mental health and to feel normal again.
😢 i do not want to go back into braces more than i am already in daily. I walk now but, days i don't. Weight goes on when i cant walk. 😢 walking makes u happy and healthy
She had me crying at the end. I wish I could afford this. Walkers are horrible.
Hun, if you live in Canada they now have a Rent to own program. If you live elsewhere then go to the Contact on the Alinker home page and see what other options they have. Do not give up so easily, they will help you in any way they can. I am honored to be an Alinker owner; I call her BumbleBE and she is awesome!!
Dee Dee it folds up so easily! I keep it in my living room! 💗
@@ckg-mr5uq That is a great question. I don't know if stores even allow them inside.
You can ‘rent to own’ and without any extra Fees. There are many ways to get one so if you want one get going and do it!
@@gthomas15229 just tell the store ‘this is instead of a wheelchair’ .. the store wouldn’t dare deny you. If they do .. guess they don’t want your money .. or the letter you wrote about them in your local newspaper 😆
This is 17 years old! I’m only just finding out about it - why? Is it still going strong? Also, so few comments! Lost in algorithms?
07 Jul 2024. I know! Is this not the best kept secret in the handicap world?! I just found out about it two weeks ago. I have tried all the emails addresses. I even tried this phone number on one of the addresses. I’ve written several emails got two answers which sent me to another one which didn’t answer, it is so hopeless when I look out the window at the beautiful countryside where I could be out there walking on my little yellow bike, except that I can’t get one! Hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are, God bless you.
Jesus loves you...a.
What an insightful talk, I am an ABI survivor after surviving a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 56, I went from being a very active, driven and involved woman, to feeling invisible, I look forward to trying rhe alinker.
I am saying the same, but was in a manual walker, but took my self out of it fastest as i could to walking sticks. See i was in an accident broke my back 16 pieces.
I’m so excited to start walking with my ALinker.
A home PT is coming to help me use it. I just had surgery a week ago. It’s together sitting in my living room. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. WT
If a terratrike (and) other bikes can design for up to 400lbs, how come it takes so long for Alinker to come out with the Alinker 2.0? It's really needed for morbid obese... metabolically healthy when their only problem is with their legs but no chronic disease. Please come out with the 2.0 asap...
I had to have my right leg amputated above the knee 3 years ago. I am now an 82 years old female and get around in a power wheelchair. I thought I would get a prosthetic leg and get back my mobility. After being assured I would get one, things conspired against me so no prosthetic leg. I manage and keep as active as possible. The appealing thing to, about this device is being at eye level and being able to exercise my lower body better.
A friend told me about this and I immediately began learning about it. I watched testimonials and a couple were from amputees who love it. PROBLEM - they had prosthetic legs and used the Alinker using both legs. I want to talk to above the knee amputees who do not have a prosthetic leg. Are they able to use this device???????
super cool, but the price is double what it should be
I am in Jamaica ,need one where can I get one
Lastima que engañan en las medidas mi hija compro uno, mando sus medidas de Ella y le quedo grande sabiendo perfectamente sus medidas y aun asi hicieron la transaction gasto $2,000.- dos mil dolares para algo que no puede usar y no quisieron que lo devolbiera para no regresarle su dinero
How much does it cost?
How does this handle on a gravel drive?
I have seen my family members go into those walkers i hate make them humpbacks i am on the verge of being put again into one cause of falls, i am the one who broke her back in 30s i need this on ss, what can i along with others to do to get one please
bring down the price to an affordable level
Look into buying a slightly used one - that is what I did and honestly I could not tell it was used. Saved myself $500.
@@goodwitch50 wish this was possible in Germany, ea4ly retired, tight budget and I will eventually find a way to get an Alinker for me.
These bikes are ridiculous expensive. You can buy an electric bike for less money than you can buy one of these for tomorrow and help people don't rip them off
Price is not realistic for majority of Seniors who would benefit from this bike.
She needs to stop getting rich off of other people's disabilities... This is half a bike very easy to make your own And it will not cost thousands of dollars She should be ashamed of herself
