Adaptive Equipment and Shops
 

As time goes on, we'll be building up a list of manufacturers and shops that cater to the adaptive needs of the cyclist.

Meantime:

The Handcycle Store This is an online vendor
Intrepid Cycles, San Diego, Ca. They make hand cycles and other adaptive equipment.

Information Clearinghouses for lists of manufacturers

Nice addition to the Forums, Mr. Stormcrowe. This is much needed.

This isn't a shop, but the website has links:

I got my handcycle from Sportaid.

Worksman cycles has a special shop dedicated to the special needs community.

just found this..
Hand Cycle Giveaway
http://www.handcycle.net/handcycle-giveaway/

I love the gear these guys make:
http://www.belizebike.com/

You may also want to add http://roadracepowerpod.com/ for handcyclists who need a power assist up those hills.

Mark B., the owner is a handcyclist himself and is a great guy to deal with.

I just found this product:

http://cerevellum.com/

It is a rear view camera system. It will prove invaluable to me since I have limited vision. I am going to encorporate this in my newest handcycle build. Looks helpfull to anyone.

I friend of mine, Russ Denny Bicycles, is located in Hemet, CA. He is a frame builder and has built several bikes for those with various limitations. He has one customer who is a racer. He can build or customize almost anything.

Epic Bikes in McDonough, GA have worked with me extensively on fitting as well as parts selection in order to help me adapt to proper riding position and technique.

Edit- Sad to say that Epic Bikes is no longer in business.

We can also customize or build nearly anything and have built many adaptive bicycles, especially tandems.

Besides being a mechanic and frame builder I have a professional background in rehabilitation and plan to really focus on adaptive cycling here since no other shops do it and I have a personal interest in this.

I purchased Swing Crank from http://www.highpath.net/highpath/contact.html for my wife who has had 2 1/2 total knee replacements on her right leg, and has limited bend. It is amazing to see her ride a bike after over 25 years not being able to ride.

Thanks..

found this site with lots of links: Murray's Trike Links

Can you send info
 

I have cerebral palsy left side doesn't function as well as right side

The proprieter of Creative Mobility, part of the Bike Rack bike shop in St. Charles IL, visited the bike swap here in Madison last week.

Anybody have knowledge of an organization that can use a tandem donation to help out blind stokers?

Thanks,
Rich
