Parri Hageraats

Parri Hageraats from Venhuizen (Noord Holland, the Netherlands) was the very first official BerkelBike owner. Previously there are BerkelBikes used in various scientific researches of the Sint Maartenskliniek and the Universitair Medisch Centrum St. Radboud, but Parri got the first commercial BerkelBike.

Parri is also in another way a special BerkelBike user. She is namely as well as mentally as physically handicapped, caused by meningitis and an incomplete high spinal cord injury. She cycles weekly and in the summer twice a week, but always with a companion. When heavy raining she cycles on the stationary bike.

Recently she managed to cycle completely independently with this tricycle. At first this could not be imagined.
