You my friend, are an awesome person! I'll check that out right now!

Thank you.

@jaspr1999 My pleasure! You can also apply for a grant from the Challenged Athletes Foundation (google that). You don't have to be an "athlete"...you can just be a regular guy who wants a handcycle. :o) Their "Access for Athletes" program funds recreational equipment.

Damn, I've got to get one of those! The cost of extremely prohibitive. I just looked at quickie handcycles and the price range is 1300.00 3000.00. Sticker shock conniption fit ensued.

Do ya'll know manufactures that would have a more reasonable price?
