Accessible Motorcycle

Every once in a while I see a trike motorcycle driving down the road with a wheelchair strapped to the side. Being a rider myself I find some satisfaction that people with disabilities get a chance to enjoy the thrill of a bike as well. The other day I was watching the show Orange County Choppers where they build amazing chopper motorcycles from scratch. Every time I watch them I love the amazing results they turn each bike into. On this episode they decided to make a special modification to the bike for the Christopher Reeve foundation. Christopher Reeve is an actor who is famous for his role in Superman who became a quadriplegic from a horse riding accident. This motorcycle was a bike that you could ride while sitting in your wheelchair. Basically it was a trike motorcycle with a platform you can strap the wheelchair to. Being a TR major and a motorcycle rider I was pleased to watch this episode on building an accessible motorcycle.
