Bit of a long shot, but my friend's ICE Adventure FS recumbent tricycle was stolen in Slough, UK this afternoon. It's blue, well-used with a torn seat cover, and has a Bafang bottom-bracket motor conversion. Keep an eye out.
I had my last regular day working at the #Adaptive Cycling Center, so how about a brief rundown on adaptive bikes!
I was hired to work for Outdoors for All in the ACC for May-Sept, and I'd like to document my crash course on working to get people with disabilities or injuries out and about on an #AdaptiveBike.
The simplest #adaptation is adjusting the basic design to be more stable, such as a low-step-through frame which is much more forgiving for the person riding. This can help for getting on, and when you need to put your foot down to catch yourself.
A tricycle, or 3-wheeled bike, can help even more with balance.
A #trike can be especially useful if you need time to get situated, need assistance, or have other adaptations such as straps to adjust. #AdaptiveBike
Seit knapp zwei Wochen habe ich ein #Liegedreirad (auch #Liegetrike oder einfach #Trike), und werde hier mal in loser Folge Erfahrungen, Erkenntnisse und meine Antworten auf häufige Fragen posten - für mich, und falls es Euch interessiert, auch für Euch.
Falls Ihr Euch mit dem Gedanken tragt, Euch so ein Teil anzuschaffen oder einfach neugierig seid, fragt mich sehr gerne - aber auch ich bin gerade erst im Kennenlernprozess 😊
