It was recorded, so there may be a way for those who missed it to hear it. Stay tuned.

Vendors, therapists, & athletes of various abilities participated.

Like in this forum, RAGBRAI was mentioned a couple times, and neighborly rivalry compelled a plug for BRAN.

For those wanting to participate in RAGBRAI, as of the date of this…Read more

Saw 5 other handcyclists. The route was around 430 miles this year, but a lot of climb.

Looking forward to doing it again next year.

Only a few handcycles every year. Say hi to every Handcycle rider you come across. My RAGBRAI license plate (mounted on my draft bar) has my nickname, “The Low Rider”.

Such as posts advocating physical violence against e-bike riders are called out by some, and then justified as just jokes by others. There was a social ride that included an 11 year old boy riding an e-bike, who…Read more

Keep it friendly, even if someone endorses the worst handcycle ever made, in your opinion.

To start, I’ve used Top End Force G, Force RX, Force 3, and Excelerator. Also a FreedomRyder FRH-1R.

Currently, I use the Excelerator for running errands and short trips around town. It…Read more

Trying to pitch information you want at your level, not wanting to talk down or up to you.

Like the other 13 times it will be done on a handcycle.

Anybody else here done RAGBRAI, as well, or other 2+ days organized rides? I’d like to hear about them and what you liked (or disliked) about the ride.

If you worked on your bike, you probably know all you need to know about handcycles. It’s just flipped upside down (the bottom bracket is on the top, etc.). Hope you get on a HC sooner than later.

I have got into a few bike races done well and also have been actively riding the hand cycle and getting healthier.

Biking has always been an important part of my life and my favorite way to get a good workout. After my injury I was shocked how difficult handcycling was but also grateful to find an intense way to be able to get my heart rate up again. I’ve gradually been getting more…Read more
