HANDCYCLING

My view for a change

It may look the same, but it was a totally different outing through Bourne Woods and surrounding villages.

The first outing.
Gill rode her mountain bike and we set off down Beech Ave. The first thing I noticed was how little effort you have to put in to go fast.
So we went into Bourne Woods and did some off-road tracks too.

I'd tried a hand-cycle at the showroom and was quoted £2200.



This seemed a bit much so I had a look on Ebay.

I found this smart Draft Vulcan hand-cycle, which looks a much better machine and was £700 less. So off we went to a village near Hunstanton to get it quick.
While there, the seller who turned out to have a similar injury to me and also similar interests, offered me an electric clip-on front wheel for the wheelchair at the bargain price of £150. So I snapped that up too.










Everyone loves the Vulcan
