Homemade
I just saw this on the old phart's forum I'm on
To quote the poster:
That photo shows his first day's effort 
Man, I must spend too much time in my moaning chair 
Richard I had a good bike ... so I fixed it
My god, I hope she has arms of steel!

Yes she has arms of steel
she's spent her whole life in a wheel chair
May we assume your the gent responsible for it? If so, you've done a darned good job. Richard I had a good bike ... so I fixed it
A few of us put time and thought into making this happen with my mate Bob doing the most. [He lived the job till it was done]
I was happy to see your on your new recumbent at last... stay with it... it just keeps been more fun.
Looks like Bob, you and the lads did a grand job there Leigh, any chances of some pics of the finished job?

Seems I have to wait to do this. I will when I can 
Thanks very much Leigh.
If you PM a link to the pics to a mod or me, they should go up pretty quickly. Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Bobs Identity Revealed!
Yes I admit it I am Bob the person Leigh refers to in building the Hand Cycle. We are known as the Builder Brothers.
Here's a built up pic of the unit. MAGNIFICENT!
I vote Leigh, Bob and their mates for bloke of the year! Shaun  ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

When my 10days is up I'll post a few more pics
Thanks MB for sticking this one up for us We keep finding new ones to do the next one is for a little blind girl so we're thinking... recumbent seat out front for her mum at the back in DF 3 wheels 2 sets of granks Still thinging and talking on this one as yet
Upgrade that nomination to blokes of the decade
IIRC, there's been an image of something similar posted here Leigh, 'twould assist the design process. "The Builder Bros, making cycling easy for everyone."

We have been talking [we do a lot of that]
about buiding a recumbent tag a long... have a few old mates that can't ride as we can so my thought is 2 wheels recumbent seat that slids so a kid or bigen can ride own grank driving back wheels attatching low [like a Bob trailer] so go on a recumbent or DF
Sounds good, kind of like a trike version of the Hase Pino.
This one sounds like a grown up form of the Hase Trets kiddie trailer. Great stuff guys, it's fantastic that you're doing these things.
Just had a look at the Hase sight...
interesting and some nice bikes on there I don't think any idea any of us have is ever original…. Like ever idea has been thought of by someone somewhere. When I thought up making a recumbent that could be ridden in both a recumbent and DF position…. At first I thought no one else had gone down that road but since then I find [the net is a wonderful thing] these been a few others doing the same thing. I love it… The more ideas we can get from each other the better.. And the more of us that “tinker†the better And if we can come up with bikes for people that have trouble riding df bike… that’s great
Here is the one before the one before...
For a little bloke so his grandfather could ride around with him Little bloke can't speak and has only part use of legs but what a smile he has when he gets to ride [img]http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee220/Leigh_caines/bikes011.jpg [/img]http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee220/Leigh_caines/Riley015.jpg
You forgot the [img] at the start of the link .....
(Best way is to paste the link, highlight it carefully and hit the IMG button.)
