Handcycling
These programs combine both recreation and education in a series of opportunities throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Building on the popular canoe and kayak "floats" and the popularity of the "Tour de Necklace", IGO is branching out to offer cycling "rides" throughout the park district this summer. Much like our "floats", the "rides" will be relaxed outings in different regions of the park district, allowing you to discover the gems of the Emerald Necklace with your friends and family following our extensive All Purpose Trails. These programs are open to cyclists of all ages and are accessible to people of all abilities. Helmets are mandatory for all riders. Watch for the 2008 Schedule Soon!

22. Handcycling 101
People say riding a bike is so easy, you never forget how to do it. Riding a handcycle is so easy, you won’t know why you hadn’t yet tried it.

Handcycling 101 Everything you ever wanted to know about handcycling, but were afraid to ask P eople say riding a bike is so easy, you never forget how to do it. Riding a handcycle is so easy, you won’t know why you hadn’t yet tried it. Handcycling has been around for more than two decades, and the design of the trikes that have revolutionized exercise and recreation for people with disabilities continues to improve, making them faster, more agile, and more accessible for anyone who wants to get in the saddle. The crank of a handcycle is positioned near the upper body of the rider and propels the front wheel, rather than the rear wheel, of the cycle. Handbrakes, located near the hand pedals or seat (depending on model), work the same as typical bicycle brakes. The seats, or saddles, on handcycles are more supportive than bicycle seats, resembling the seats used on recumbent bikes. Rather than being designed specifically for people with disabilities, the first handcycle design took shape in the hands of nondisabled cyclists looking to increase the use of human-powered vehicles. Although they have failed so far to spawn a new age for American transportation, they did create the opportunity for people with disabilities to get back in the saddle.

Paralympic sports struggle to make a presence in the world. Paralympic means alongside the Olympics. Paralympics are an international competition for athletes with disabilities. Paralympic Committees reside alongside Olympic Committees in many countries. Over the years rules and regulations changed, shifted and transformed Paralympic sports.

View All Channels Lesson in Flight: Handcycling the Outer Banks
by Mike Savicki Most gulls don’t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight – how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flight that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. More than anything else,
Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly.
— Richard Bach, ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ There is really no place on Earth quite like the fragile chain of pencil-thin barrier islands called the Outer Banks. Located far to the east of North Carolina’s mainland, wedged between the Great Dismal Swamp and the Continental Shelf, the Outer Banks is a tranquil, remote, desolate, and beautiful place. It is a place like no other. It is a land where beauty comes easily and nature coexists with only those hearty few who call it home. The Outer Banks is the birthplace of flight and it is where I recently traveled for a 120-mile handcycling journey that became as much about personal growth and discovery as it was about athletic achievement and accomplishment.

A Little Handcycling
My pal Mike Augspurger just dropped me a note to remind me of the upcoming 2nd Annual Offroad Handcycling Championships. Slated to run on August 25-26 in Crested Butte, Colorado, this US Handcycling event includes a five-mile cross-country race, a three-mile hill climb and a trials exhibition. Definitely not for the faint of heart! Still, it looks to be great fun and if I didn’t have a previous commitment, I’d be tempeted to check it out. Thanks for the invite Mike! And thanks to the Crested Butte Adaptive Sports Center for helping make this event possible. For more information about the event, visit http://www.ushandcycling.org/offroad_07.html And if you’re in the area check it out. Posted by Candy Harrington in Recreation at

40. How I Contracted TM And Then Won The Canadian Handcycling Nationals

Or How I Contracted TM and then Won the Canadian Handcycling Nationals

Andrew Reid It was seven months after I moved from Ottawa, Canada to the good ole US of A Austin, Texas to be exact that I ended up in a wheelchair. Life couldn't have been better. I was 28 years old, working for a great software company, kickboxing 40 rounds per week, and chillin' out in the sun 300 days a year. It was November 24, 1999 that I took off to San Diego, the land of beautiful waves, for a four-day surfing adventure. I had planned the trip several weeks before for my first American Thanksgiving weekend, and now the date had arrived. I couldn't have been more excited since it had been about a year-and-a-half since I'd danced on the waves. I wish I could tell you that the trip went without glitches, but then you wouldn't be reading this article, if it had. The next few days were a blur. My mom and dad got that fateful call in Canada and, of course, my mom thought "why does he have to do all that crazy stuff" (surfing, snowboarding, kickboxing, rock-climbing)? Of course, they didn't know at that time that it wasn't so traumatic. I guess it was about a week before they moved me out of emergency and into rehab, Scripp's Memorial to be exact. By the way, my mom had arrived as soon as she could and either my mom or dad never left my side until my return to Canada, which was a month later when I got out. All the staff at Scripps was fantastic. At that time I wasn't ready to accept anything to do with being in a wheelchair so when the physical therapists (PTs) told me that life is not over and there are plenty of great wheelchair sports, I'm like, "Yeah right! How the heck will I ever kickbox again?"
