Need Help getting a hand cycle bike

HandCycleSimon · February 2015

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:

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.
