My love for cycling continues, and it's become clear to me I've outgrown my current equipment. I'm asking for your help to afford an all terrain hand-cycle kitted with suspension, 27.5" wheels, power assist, wireless shifting, a much needed upgrade of rear dual brakes and a rack specifically designed to carry my wheelchair with me for commuting and bike packing. Yes all the bells and whistles. I've made due with what has been a lovely bike for a few years, but after my trip to Bentonville AR last year, it's time I upgrade OR take a "step" back. (Which if you know me, isn't an option either literally or figuratively.) Last year I took a position with the Loppet foundation at the Theo Wirth trailhead in the adventure shop, this opportunity has shown me the importance of representation and furthered my interest in community building. This bike will not only benefit my life but showcase the interest of the adaptive community at large. We're still here and hungry to rip up the trails! Thank you for your time and consideration, my life is so much more fruitful with all of you in it. Please do come by the trailhead and say hi! I look forward to joining you on the trails.
