Hi all!!

Does anyone know where to get a semi cheap handicap accessible bike?! I have never had one and really don't have $3,000 to spend on one. Any ideas??? :)

what about going to your local handicapped society that deals with services. If you type in your county with the state and handicap services something should come up. Or see about going to places that sell medical equipment they might have a medical bike that they would be willing to loan or sell you for cheaper. Another suggestion would be to check on ebay to see if anyone is selling them for a cheaper price then that.

Thanks everyone for your input!!! I have a dislocated hip and so using a bike with my legs is very difficult. I am looking to get one with hand pedals. Thanks again! :)
