Project Mobility - Adaptive Cycling for People with Disabilities - Hal Honeyman

Hal Honeyman, founder of Project Mobility: Cycles for Life, Inc. has been involved with bicycles as a sport, business, and recreation for nearly thirty years. Hal's interest in "adaptive cycling" - bicycles for people with disabilities - was spurred when his own son Jacob was born with Cerebral Palsy. Hal wanted to find a way for Jacob to join the family when bicycle riding. After Jacob's needs were met, Hal found specialized bikes for other disabled children and began creating specialized bikes when other bikes were not available or did not exist for that particular disability. This has led to the recent formation of Project Mobility: Cycles for Life.

Bikes for those who are disabled goes beyond mere transportation, or even health building recreation for those whose health is often fragile. These specialized bikes create a sense of freedom for those who are disabled. Bikes restore a sense of possibility and ability to those whom are often told by society that their life is about limitations and disability.

@lulzwhat123 Your the kind of person who makes me sick. If you keep up that kind of attitude your gonna have a very long un happy life. Handicap people are just like you and I they are people. I have a handicapped son who is very loved and loves to laugh and play. Maybe you should spend some time with some handicapped people to learn that they are human beings, they may be different but everyone in this world is different our world would be very boring if everyone was the same. Good Luck in Life

What a terrific video and tribute to Hal's work and dedication to children of all abilities. Our son Nolan just received his bike at Creative Mobility on Saturday. He is thrilled with his new wheels and each day his strength, ability to pedal and stamina are improving. Hal is as wonderful and caring in person as he is in the video. We are so fortunate to have been put in touch with him. Thank you Hal for making such a difference in the lives of so many!
