This type of inclusive event is consistent with the Brooks' community reintegration philosophy of rehabilitation. The Brooks Adaptive Sports program provides handcycling opportunities through activities like Handcycling Hit the Road program which takes participants to a remote location for a longer and more scenic ride, and the first ever Northeast Florida Handcycle Race and Clinic of which Brooks Rehabilitation was the Title Sponsor. No matter what the event, athletes may use their own equipment, or may borrow it from the Brooks Adaptive Sports Program.

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Handcycles Jump to: navigation search A competition handcycle A handcycle is a type of human powered land vehicle powered by the arms rather than the legs , as on a bicycle . Most handcycles are tricycle in form, with two coasting rear wheels and one steerable powered front wheel. Despite usually having three wheels, they are also known as handbikes Many manufacturers have designed and released hand-powered recumbent trikes, or handcycles. Handcycles are a regular sight at HPV meets and are beginning to be seen on the streets. These usually follow a delta design with front wheels driven by standard derailleur gearing powered by hand cranks Brake levers are usually mounted on the handholds which are usually set with no offset (unlike pedal cranks, which are usually offset by 180°). The entire crank assembly and the front wheel turn together, allowing the rider to steer and crank simultaneously. Thanks to modern technology, handcycles come in a variety of styles, making them accessible to people of all abilities, including many persons with disabilities. There are also hybrids between a handcycle, a recumbent bike and a tricycle. Fork steer handcycles represent the majority of handcycles sold. They work well for both low and high-level injuries, and most have adjustable footrests, seat angle, and come with a variety of gearing

Extractions: It's been a few weeks since I have posted an update. Not to worry, things are progressing (mostly). There was a small delay thanks to a nasty rain storm that came in and caused a roof leak. Waking up to this on my ceiling is not what I was hoping for.. at least the damage was contained and in an area that hadn't been textured and painted yet. Posted by Steve at 5:24 PM 1 comments Labels: Home Improvement Just a quick update before I pass out from paint fumes (now I remember why Zero VOC paint can be worth the extra few dollars per gallon). Just about half the house has been textured and the master bedroom and hallway have been painted.

Extractions: I have been hand cycling since 1992, when I bought my first clip-on, a Quickie Cyclone with 48 gears. Needles to say I found it was heavy and not fast enough on the hills. My next hand cycle was a Freedom Ryder, which started my love affair with lean-steering, which is really great as you can pedal full stroke even when you have the bike cranked over in a full lock turn! Ernst was born with congenital birth defects. "This child will suffer from a lack of quality of life due to his disability," the doctor told his parents, "You should put him up for adoption." But Ernst's parents took him home, where they later recognized Ernst's affinity for sports and encouraged him to participate in gymnastics, table tennis, track and field and swimming.
