BrightVibes

BrightVibes We amplify the good in the world. Welcome to our global community of good-doers. Bright Vibes is all about taking a different angle on every story.

BrightVibes is all about counter acting the negative and fear driven press and news that surrounds us everyday. Media organisations have a huge effect on the well being and general feeling of the population yet they keep resorting to driving fear into people in order to sell newspapers and drive viewers. This leaves people numb and depressed and less likely to take action to help their fellow man.

There are plenty of people telling you why something is bad and what is going wrong with the world so you don't need another outlet doing that. But how about someone telling what is going well with the world. To show you that even amidst a war there are heartwarming stories or people helping each other to get through the struggles. Even amongst an election there are politicians who are really trying to do good and help the nation. And during a national disaster we will show you some of the most inspiring people working every minute of the day purely to help others have a better life. These things will inspire you to go out and do some good - or at the very least just put a big smile on your face knowing that not everyone is out to get you. And you know if you can make one person smile then the rest of the world will follow suit! Have a fantastic day and make it a happy one!

This fat bike with sidecar at Dutch elderly care center is revolutionizing how we fight loneliness among seniors. 🚴‍♂️✨

Designed by the brilliant social designers David Claassen and Sem Lootsma this isn't just any fat bike...it's the world's most social one. The ingenious sidecar features a rotating seat (with safety belt!), foot support, and here's the coolest part: it transforms into a comfortable two-person bench in seconds. 🪑

I volunteered to take Cees (80+) for a ride through Utrecht, and watching his eyes light up as we passed his old primary school where he used to be principal was pure magic. "A place I can't reach with my walking stick - I love being out here," he told me. The project brings seniors from care centers back into their neighborhoods, connecting generations and breaking the small circles they often find themselves in.

Currently piloting in Utrecht with two care institutions, volunteers can sign up to take seniors on these meaningful rides. "An outing is always nice, otherwise you keep going in small circles. Now you're out - wonderful!" as Cees perfectly put it.

Every care center should have one! 💚

This super social fat bike that fights loneliness, and puts a big fat smile on everyone's face 😃

But aren't fat bikes anti-social? Wrong!!

In my hometown of Utrecht (NL), I volunteered to take Cees (who lives in a care home) for a ride on what must be the world's most social fat bike.

Designed by the brilliant social designers David Claassen and Sem Lootsma it features a easy mountable rotating seat (with seatbelt, safety first 😃), support for the passenger's feet AND the coolest thing ever is that...
.. you can also together enjoy the view and company by turning it into a two-seater bench.

To be honest, when I first heard about it, I was drawn mainly by the innovative design and that it's the most social fat bike ever. But after spending one hour with Cees, meeting him is actually the biggest highlight. Cees used to work as the director of a primary school and we passed by his old school.

His stories were great, but his 'joie de vivre' is what sticks with me most. I have no idea how old he is, but I bet he is 80+ and still has been able to keep his inner child alive & kicking 🤘🏼

Currently, two care centers in Utrecht collaborate with the Social Design Studio, but in my opinion, every care center should have one or two of these amazing bikes.

And Cees, I promise, I will be back to take you for another ride 👋🏼

In August 2025, TIME Magazine named her one of their first-ever “Girls of the Year.” 🌞🎒💛

At just 13, Rebecca Young from Glasgow invented a solar powered blanket that fits into a backpack, designed to help people experiencing homelessness stay warm at night.

She came up with the idea at age 11 after seeing rough sleepers during winter, and submitted it to a national engineering competition — which she won.

Her design was turned into a working prototype, and 30 blankets have already been donated to local charities, with more on the way.
