Have you noticed? On duo-bike and duo-scootmobile, employees of MeanderGroep Zuid-Limburg and Gemeente Kerkrade have set out a route. Starting and ending point of the route is the Sjevemethoes. The route could already be used and was officially inaugurated on September 12.
What is Beweegroute KIRCHROA OP WIELE?
The Beweegroute KIRCHROA OP WIELE is a loop route of almost 5 km. The route goes along streets and paths that are easy to ride with (duo)-bikes, wheelchairs and (duo)-scootmobiles. From the Sjevemethoes the route goes through Chèvremont, along Hoog Anstel, Stadspark, through the center and Rolduckerveld, back to the Sjevemethoes. You can start at any point along the route.
For whom is the exercise route KIRCHROA ON WHEEL intended?
The exercise route is primarily intended for people who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters or adapted bicycles. But of course everyone can use it, also for just walking or cycling, young and old. Along the way are plenty of opportunities to make a stop for a cup of coffee or a sanitary stop. This is also indicated in the flyer.
"A fantastic initiative, this exercise route that is accessible to everyone. This also gives residents who are less mobile the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful city. In this way we ensure that everyone can participate," said aldermen Jo Schlangen and Alexander Geers of the municipality of Kerkrade.

Subsidy for duo-bike Lückerheide
