Yes, i's a Christian devotional, but don't be scared, the UCC isn't too in your face preachy...

I wonder if anyone knows about specific shops that do this.
Thank you the devotional, I like it.

I don't know of any bike shops' that do this. But it would certainly be an excellent business avenue that would potentially draw business from the disabled community.

Because, Every time I have gone into the two local bike shops I use for repairs, I have never seen a physically disabled customer buying a bike, or getting one repaired. I also have never seen either shop work on recumbent bikes.
