A documentary on adaptive mobility,
Brooklyn engineering,
and relentless freedom.
When movement is powered by love,
four wheels become three
Engineering Mobility, Building Community
Inside a Brooklyn workshop, Sandra risks her business to engineer adaptive tricycles that transform the lives of children with limited mobility. Every custom adaptive bike is a testament to grassroots resilience and meticulous craft, designed for children to experience mobility freedom - and childhood fun!
On Three Wheels chronicles Sandra, a Brooklyn bike shop owner, as she navigates the challenges of transforming her commercial bicycle repair business into a non-profit dedicated to adaptive bicycle building. Through Sandra's work, the documentary bears witness to the realities of families raising children with disabilities by highlighting their daily lives, the heavy lifting involved, and the profound impact adaptive mobility makes in their lives.
Grounded in grassroots resilience and community, this isn't about charity. It's about engineering freedom, fostering community, and ensuring every child has the right to ride.
