Bike fitting recumbent style has variuos factors that have to be taken into account. Having one working leg on a trike isn't that unusual btw. Had guy with left hand leg that couldn't power up trike that much. He triked on good leg up to Bruntsfield last wed abd down to Leamington.<br /> Main thing was that the less able leg doesn't rotate as much. For this we use a Hase Pendulum pedal. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14635#post-185046 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 10:58:03 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 185046@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This'll be REALLY interesting. I was gutted for the guy, but if he can work through the injury this way then chapeau indeed (though my experience of recumbenting is of very different muscle groups being used, or used in very different ways, so if he's used to upright this is going to make the challenge remarkably hard!). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14635#post-185042 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 10:29:47 +0000 chdot 185042@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> “To mitigate that loss we are now looking into Steve using a recumbent trike. Steve has asked several medics and doctors whether this was wise to do (when he was at hospital) and had no negative feedback.</p> <p>Riding a recumbent trike will mean that he can sit in an ideal position for recovery from his injuries, with the ankle raised. So as far as the injured ankle is concerned, it should be no different to sitting on his couch at home. Being outdoors will also give the benefit of extra vitamin D, which is very good for his bones.”</p> <p>"</p> <p>! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14635#post-185039 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 09:40:40 +0000 Stickman 185039@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's not. </p> <p>Chapeau. </p> <p><a href="http://road.cc/content/news/147611-put-me-back-trike-steve-abraham-resume-year-record-attempt">http://road.cc/content/news/147611-put-me-back-trike-steve-abraham-resume-year-record-attempt</a> </p>
