Although handcycling is quite popular as a competitive sport, most handcycles are used by recreational athletes. Unlike racing wheelchairs, handcycles are simple to operate, easily adjusted and very easy to transfer in and out of. As a result, 1000's of people with and without disabilities are using hand-cycles to improve their cardiovascular and aerobic health, increase upper body strength, ride with friends and family, and improve overall fitness.
