Hello Everyone my name is Simon. I'm wheelchair bound as I have a brain condition called FND and I have a brain tumour, I'm numb from the waist down with no movement,
I'm doing the London To Paris bike ride this July, but I'm in desperate need of a hand cycle bike, I can't afford a new one,, anyone got one for sale I have around £800
If you would like to sponsor me the link is here:

Thanks

I wish you all the very best with your London to Paris ride. When I was out on my bike the other day I saw someone using a hand cycle bike, it looked fun, but hard work!A huge amount of respect to you.Please keep us posted on how you get on. Guess you have tried all the obvious routes to try and get a bike. ebay or gumtree? Is there a special group or club for hand cycle bike users? If there isn't, there should be.Noah
