"I’m an artist, performer, writer, director, and animator. I am also disabled. I use forearm crutches, and have had to use wheelchairs in years past. Now I have my own Alinker mobility device that I am able to use at all the cultural institutions and museums. It has enabled me to finally see exhibits as they should be. I am at eye level.  Few exhibits or art are made to be seen from below except the Sistine or pieces that are installation specific.  I am able to self propel myself, I can move from piece to piece in my own timing. For someone in a wheelchair, often pieces in cases are entirely inaccessible (if not equipped with adjustable mirrors enabling those lower to see their contents). The Alinker is a godsend. It is my Walker but better. I’m not reaching down but forward. And my weight is not fully on my legs. I no longer have people hitting me in the face with purses, backsides, and backpacks or am backed into."

"It can be a simple thing.. to walk to the places that we love and to be at eye level with the people that we love! Yay, been wanting to walk on this trail for years! Thank you Alinker!!!"

— Glenda

"Yesterday I was able to walk beside my awesome husband for the first time in 6 years. (Let's soak this in) You see, because he uses a walker and a cane to walk, it's extremely hard for him to keep his balance next to a person."

"He walks slower than the rest of us, and gets fatigued after a few feet of walking.  Not only walking next to my husband, but also to see him enjoy walking, at a faster pace next to me, and not getting fatigued. So to everyone that helped us, thank you for this gift. We love you."

— Paloma

"Greetings from Zurich Zoo! We met as visitors at the Swiss Handicap and the Alinker spark jumped immediately! We are already a remarkable Alinker community in Switzerland! So good!"

"Hi from Czech Rep! I started looking for compensatory aids for my son after all possible genetic tests. He has a neuromuscular disease and severe hypotonia, so he couldn't handle normal toddler bouncers from an early age.  Eliášek has the smallest version for adults, he is only eight years old and we have been dealing with the disease since he was two years old ❤️ Alinker is his helper, thanks to him he is independent and can go around the whole zoo with him alone 😃 he was even with us at the beach by the sea and we also want to try winter sports."

"A day with my daughter to the Kröller Muller Museum in Arnhem in the Netherlands. Admiring the paintings of Vincent van Gogh and other works of art."

— Mary (Netherlands)

"A walk with a good friend and my Alinker on a sunny day in January!  Umbria, Italy."  

— Claudia (Umbria, Italy)

“It was hard to admit I could no longer walk around stores, but the Alinker made what had become a painful and almost impossible struggle, into an easy errand. It took me a few weeks, but now I love this thing! I especially love feeling the wind in my hair again.”  

— Katie

"I waited as my insurance wouldn’t approve it! I’m so frustrated by that, but the crowdfunding worked perfectly, and it brought me back to life! I avoided falls and injuries  -  it slowed or stopped my health decline."

— Eleanor

"When I am using the Alinker I am in a much better mood than I was in the wheelchair. It impacted my mental health. I could have saved so many health care expenses and on treatments and surgeries like I do since using the Alinker."

— Anna

“I took the Alinker to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC today. When I saw this painting of Oedipus and the Sphinx by Moreau, I knew I had to take a picture. Let's update the riddle: What goes on four wheels in the morning- baby carriage, two wheels at noon- bicycle and three wheels in the evening- we know that answer!"

“I went outside for lunch at work, twice this past week. I avoided this for the past year because the memory of how hard concrete is to fall on, is still fresh in my mind. In the past, my right wrist would begin to hurt using my pole, a residual pain from the fall on concrete last year. I had to pause if I needed to make eye contact. Now with the Alinker I can whiz down the hallway, easily make eye contact again and I seem to have permanent smile on my face. My brain feels so relieved not having to stress so much about tripping and falling. I love that with just two weeks of using the Alinker consistently I feel it is a natural extension of my daily life and I feel so secure using it. With the Alinker my world has expanded greatly. Gosh I feel like I am 5 years old again! I can’t imagine living my life without the Alinker."

— Valerie Kline (Colorado, USA)

"I used the Alinker today to take my dog to a nature preserve/off-leash park I haven't been able to get to for over 2 years. Yesterday I took it to a Pride event in Eugene. I am thrilled to have it and I always get many questions about it. I cannot remember how I first heard of the Alinker – was it through Mobility International?  (I just taught a self-defense workshop for their WILD women – 20 women from all over the world). Thanks for checking in with me – I am truly happy with it."

— Nadia Telsey (Eugene, Oregon, USA)

"I did take the Alinker to Las Vegas on my trip to have new leg braces made and we rode it inside the Mirage Casino and all the way down to Caesar’s. I wear leg braces and find that I can ride the Alinker better with my new braces. The day we left for Las Vegas we attended the San Francisco area CMTA meeting at Stanford. I set up the Alinker and demonstrated how to use it.” 

— Dennis J. Woodard (Clayton, California, USA)

“Inspired by my Mom, who has always dismissed the option of ever using a walker, I developed the Alinker™ R-volution walking-bike to help people with walking challenges and various physical disabilities move easily. I have suffered from back pain myself for many years, especially when running, so I use the Alinker because it allows me to run with my partner and friends. It’s so much fun! With the Alinker™ R-volution I can run again!”

"I wasn’t able to go out on my usual walks for the past 4 years because of severe back aches that makes it very difficult to walk without pain. Now I am out and about. We went to a park at Lake Ontario yesterday and I rode the trails for 4 miles. It was just wonderful. By the way, I am 70 years old. Much too young to just sit around!" 

— Bonnie Avery (Ontario, Canada)

“I love the Alinker because it really gives me independence! I’m paralyzed on my left side, so it helps me to walk for longer distances. I always have a smile on my face when I’m on it and it’s such a great feeling! Instead of sitting in the wheelchair and feeling a lot more disabled, this makes me feel like I’m on my way to becoming healthy again. I can just take it anywhere.” 

— Diane van Egmond (Vancouver, Canada)
