The handcycle is dead, long live the handcycle.

[running coach]

In short, my now previous bike had several failures that left me stranded. Fortunately, the person I coach with was able to get me home but I don’t want to have to depend on him as he’s regularly out of town.

The new bike is an Invacare Force 3, bought from How I Roll 1. I had originaly tried to purchase a demo model of a different bike they were selling but due to a mixup, I was charged for a bike that was already sold(by a few hours). Prompt refund and an offer of an additional discount by the owner. Offer accepted.

1x10spd drivetrain, disc brake(cable), shift triggers and brake lever mounted on the right handpedal.
It feels substantially more solid than the last bike ever felt and is much lighter. It actually feels eager to accelerate.
