vabsRider's Design Effect

The Good Design Awards celebrate excellence in design and innovation. This year’s theme, “Design Effect,” focuses on how great design transforms lives—perfectly reflected in how the vabsRider enhances the cycling experience and subsequent rider wellbeing.

Here are some of the key benefits of using the vabsRider:

  • Ease of returning to cycling: the vabsRider is an accessible solution for those looking to get moving again after taking a break
  • Improved comfort: reduces soft-tissue pain, allowing for more enjoyable, pain-free rides
  • Exercise accessibility: makes cycling more approachable for all fitness and wellbeing levels, increasing opportunities to stay active
  • Community connection: encourages socialising with fellow cyclists, friends, family, and local cycling groups
  • Enhanced performance: helps boost cycling performance with its ergonomic design, allowing cyclists to enjoy longer rides
  • Sustainability: reduces your carbon footprint by promoting cycling as an eco-friendly mode of transport
  • Cost saving: helps you save money by reducing reliance on cars and public transport.

The wellbeing benefits are endless and we’re excited to see how the vabsRider will make a positive difference in cyclists' lives everywhere.

Downtown Amman: Wa­sat Al-Balad

At the bottom of Citadel Hill is Wa­sat Al-Balad, the oldest part of Amman. Here’s where you can discover real Jordanian life through its old buildings, crumbling archeological ruins by the side of the road, cute cafes and bookstores, fresh produce markets, and stores selling scarves, gold, herbs and spices, fresh juices, and delicious desserts like Kunafeh (goats cheese. topped with wheat and pistachio).

After lunch, we enjoyed sage tea in the pretty gorgeous outdoor seating area shaded by huge trees and fragrant flowers, and shopped in the small stores filled with preserved jars of food, knitted hats and bags, jewelry and other trinkets and souvenirs. These stores are a part of Beit Khairat Souf’s Women’s Community Project created to help women financially support themselves.
