Adaptive Cycling: Handcycles, Amputee Adaptation, Visual Impairment, and Other Needs - 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 (http://bike-on.com/) This is an online vendor
Intrepid Cycles (http://www.intrepidequipment.com/), 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. (http://www.sportaid.com/)

just found this..
Hand Cycle Giveaway

I love the gear these guys make:

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.
