RBR had the pleasure and honor of working closely with an Iraq war veteran and Wounded Warrior Project spokesperson in need of a cycling solution. After taking shrapnel during the Iraq war, Jeremy (pictured) was left completely blind. In the Spring of 2008, Jeremy decided he wanted to take up cycling as a form of exercise and entertainment, but using a standard upright tandem was out of the question due to the risk of falling.
Enter the Greenspeed Tandem Trike. Jeremy's GTT is outfitted with a Schlumpf on the stoker crank and a Rohloff in the rear wheel, a pair of Arkel panniers to prepare them for long trips, and, as a last minute addition, a honker (also pictured).
Jeremy and his father stopped by RBR on Saturday, 9/27, for a fitting and first ride. They're both quite happy with the handling and ease of use of Jeremy's new trike and look forward to putting some miles on their tires.
We wish the best of luck to Jeremy on his ride to fitness.
