April 12, 2008: Pedal Powered Wheelchair

At first I thought it was a bad joke.
Wouldn't someone be in a wheelchair because they couldn't use their legs?
According to the UK distributer;

does it come with one of those big long flexible flag staffs and baseball card for the spokes?

Just don't push him down a hill unattended. It could become ugly quick.

No problem, he's got brakes.

I just got this crazy image in my head of a couple of kids at the family reunion pushing Aunt Ethel, 100 yrs old, really really fast in this wheelchair/pedal rehab thing, and her skinny 100 yr old legs pumping up and down like crazy.

Hell's Grampas tricycle gang

First funny Bruce. Second this is the most retarded thing I have seen in awhile.

bawaHAHAHAHA!!

A few bike designs for wheelchair riders who can't work the pedals themselves

Kinda a sidecar for spudcon's Heck's Grandpas:



Next, riding in the front!



I don't see how these ones are steered without handlebars--I guess just by pushing on that bar on the back of the chair (like steering a lawn mower):



Doesn't count as a wheelchair bicycle, but this bicycle taxi does seem to confirm the steering speculation re the previous pics:



Replace the bicycle taxi's passenger seat with one of these, though, and you do get a wheelchair bicycle, after all (note "cowcatcher" in front to latch into taxi's DOT-mandated safety bar):

Isn't that Bill O' Reilly hauling Madelyn Albright?

Hey. well researched Imigo.
I love the idea that sporty types can include disabled loved ones.

She's watching the GPS, so they don't get lost.
