Extractions: Senators Bingaman and Santorum Introduce âIn the Homeâ Bill Handcycling Handcycling is an alternative cycling sport for individuals who are interested in biking, but have limited use of their lower extremities. Most handcycles are designed with three wheels instead of the able-bodied two-wheeled bicycles and allow the user to peddle and steer the vehicle using only their upper body. These three-wheel bikes limit the need for balancing that normal bicycles require. Handcycling has been around for over 15 years and has dramatically grown in popularity in recent years. Today, thousands of individuals enjoy the sport throughout the world from elite Paralympic athletes to individuals who just enjoy handcycling for recreational purposes. The United Spinal handcycling team hosts meets from late-May through mid-October annually. United Spinal also holds numerous clinics during the summer to introduce the sport to new members. Handcycling not only offers United Spinal members a great opportunity to meet new people, but get involved in a very exciting and challenging sport.

Extractions: I picked up a Hand cycle in the summer of 2000 for two reasons. The first reason was so I could take my girls for bike rides. They love the rides we take to the park and through the woods. The second reason I got a bike was so I could do some exploring off-road. I picked up the Varna II because of it's strong construction and adaptability to suspension. This new found fun is a Beware sport. Three wheel cycles with one front wheel tend to roll over pretty easy. It does not take much to shed blood. I found some great trails near my house and I am having a blast exploring. It has been a long time since I have tooled around in woods under my own power. I love it! I love the woods, and riding the trails is a great way to relax. Artical here

Why is Freedomryder building a headset (pivot steer) bike now? FREEDOM RYDER FRH-1 Mike: The design and handling of the FRH-1 are great, I really like the cycle! You have put a lot into it and it shows. Tom McCurdy, Spokane, Washington SUPERBIKE LC-1 Dear Freedom Ryder "Just a quick note to let you know how much I have enjoyed the Freedom Ryder handcycle... By far it exceeds my every expectation. I cannot even compare it to the previous chair I was using. The Superbike took cycling up one more level that I didn't even know existed. Some of the technology used on the Superbike was incredible... the body leaning turn system that was incorporated is unparalleled with it's handling capability. I am now able to do things I never dreamed possible on a handcycle. Thanks for all of your help Steve, I'll be thanking you every time I get on the Superbike I'll never ride anything else."

However, the value that he places on assistive technology depends a great deal on the task at hand. For day-to-day activities, Chris prefers to do as much as he can without technology, and when equipment is necessary, he chooses simple and dependable devices that require little or no maintenance. On the other hand, for athletic and recreational activities, Chris has the complete opposite opinion: he regards technology as the primary mechanism that allows him to participate. Go directly to: Manual Wheelchair Carrying Bag Adapted Van Shower ... Standing Frame Manual Wheelchair It has taken Chris a long time to get to the point where he is completely satisfied with his wheelchair. Living in a chair for 26 years has taught him exactly which features he needs to keep up his busy lifestyle. Because he travels regularly, his chair must be compact and portable; these characteristics allow him to enter and exit both airplanes and motor vehicles with little trouble. He has chosen a chair with a very short wheelbase and without too much camber in the back wheels. These features make the chair less bulky, which improves manoeuvrability and transportability. Chris has chosen a squeeze frame, where the seat rail angles down as it goes toward the back of the chair. This gives him more of a bucket to sit in, which helps his balance. However, Chris points out that someone straight out of rehab should avoid this seating feature because balance takes some time to evolve.
