Hello again Dominic - I finally got a hand bike, which was held up due to all the covid nonsense. But I'm really struggling to make it work as I get the feeling my break is a little higher than yours, so I need to practice inside, especially when it's cold. In one of your other videos you seem to have some sort of rolling road to practice on when it's miserable out. Can you let me know what this is, please. Cheers Phil
Hi Dominic - I have just ordered one of these and I was wondering how you joined the two brakes together. I'm a complete C5 and having tried one I found I was able to put very little pressure on the brakes. I hope you're still reading comments on here. Cheers, Phil
Hi Phil, if you have the non adjustable neck version with the pedal back brake and a parking brake it's easy to do yourself or a bike shop. disconnect the [parking brake and throw away...it's pointless...then connect the top one of the 2 brake callipers (unless it's a rim-brake) with a long cable going over the pedal back little wheel and attach the other end to the bottom brake calliper. This way it halves. the amount of strength needed and doubles your braking power. Good luck. Email me if needed domjcoleman@hotmail.com
Too bad that this attachable hand cycle seems to be unavailable in Canada at this time.

I hunted about and bought a used one.

@@djc165 thanks. I'll try and understand what you mean when it arrives. I'll be in touch then. Phil
how can i get this kind of gloves for handbike
Order direct from here www.sport-on.com/quad-handles
So, what is your injury level? Just wondering if I would have enough strength to do this.
i'm complete c5/6 I started without power-assist so if you are similar level, you'd defo have the strength with this type of power assisted bike.
