There are plenty of part time wheelchair users, and even full time ones that have good use of their legs for some things and not others. I'm one of them. I can walk with crutches for a short distance, wheel my chair for a longer distance, but THIS would allow me to bike to the stores like everyone else and help me keep the strength in my legs that I need to keep using the crutches on my good days. I'm really sick of you able bodied folks making fun of us or thinking you know everything about how people with disabilities walk. YOU DON'T, and you're making yourselves look like a bunch of assholes right now.  Wow, I can’t believe the awful comments and title of this article.

I also know a wheelchair user (who uses an exercise bike to get exercise) who could benefit from this. Does anyone know where one could get one of these in Europe, and how much they might cost?
