Does anyone here ride an adapted bike?...

There was a "Bike Day" in my area. It was the best! It was the first time I ever rode a bike. I would love to get one but the prices were over $2,000.

So I have to wait to try and find some funding.

Is biking really that much fun? Or do you think it was just becaus I had never ridden before?

Re: Does anyone here ride an adapted bike?...

I don't ride a bike, but really want to! It would have to be a handcycle, though, and they are so expensive. I, too, was exhilarated the first time I used a handcycle. I think that's because, as kids, we never got to experience that "wind in our hair" feeling, you know? As a kid, I had a regular 2 wheeler. They had to tie my feet to the pedals, and someone always had to be with me. It was tiring and not very fun. My balance was horrible, so I never got rid of the training wheels. Needless to say, the bike went in the garage and collected dust! Handcycling is soooooo much fun, though! Check online, those prices are better than what you'd pay if you go through an a wheelchair distributor.

Re: Does anyone here ride an adapted bike?...

I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 14 (I fell off and had to go to the emergency room because I couldn't move my arm, not to mention I almost got hit by a car!), but I do remember it being fun. I think everyone can benefit from bike riding!
