Thanks.
It's kind of cool to think that even someone in a care setting can enjoy the freedom of cycling.

It is a great idea. Few years ago a man rode across the US giving handicapped folks a ride on a tandem, stoker in front style. I can't find the TV info at the moment.
Good work, Dale.

Cool story!
I've done an organized bike ride in Ontario the past two years, and both years there has been a two person setup with a father pulling his disabled adult son on a custom fab job. Very inspiring, and glad to see a solution that got the son out and enjoying the outdoors, like your bikes

Awesome deal. On local bike path I see some tandems with blind stoker. Weird that most non-"handicapped" folks choose to stay indoors all the time now. In recent times that would have been considered cruel & unusual punishment.
