Riding The Hiawatha Trail The Hiawatha Bike Trail will be open this year through October 7th. reopened for use by mountain bikers, hikers, and wheelchair users the end of May http://www.fs.fed.us/ipnf/rec/activities/biking/hiawatha.html
Extractions: It's been called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country. Winding through eleven tunnels and over nine high steel trestles, the 46-mile route crosses the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana. The route of the Hiawatha is best known for the long, dark St. Paul Pass or "Taft" Tunnel which burrows for 1.8 miles under the state line. The tunnel, which had been closed for repairs, reopened for use by mountain bikers, hikers, and wheelchair users the end of May 2001. "The best darn railroad in the world" is the way one old timer referred to the Milwaukee Road. The incredible history of the construction of this line was followed by the unprecedented electrification of several long stretches of the main line, forming the longest electrified mainline railroad in the world.

There are few things better in mountain biking than riding a smooth, sweeping line through any section. While the trail you are on can certainly contribute to your flow, it's really up to you to make it happen. Concentrating on finding the best flow as you ride is a great way to improve your skills and style. Looking farther down the trail and planning your line as you approach it is probably the best way to get the most flow from your ride. You shouldn't be looking at the ground where your wheels are, you need to look far enough ahead that your mind will expect what is going on underneath you, while at the same time, it's looking for what's on the way. Mastering this skill lets you pick lines that can jump through the roughest sections and sweep from curve to curve with the most flow. permalink comments (0) There are lots of ways to improve your skills. One of these that a lot of people overlook is switching bikes.
New Mobility: The Magazine For Active Wheelchair Users Did I just see a wheelchair go by? He expected a mountainbike racer, but the image of John Davis flying by in a wheelchair made an indelible impression. http://newmobility.com/review_article.cfm?id=165&action=browse
OFFROAD WHEELS However, an additional benefit is that wheelchair knobby tires are grey as opposed to black mountain bike tires commonly used on complete off-road wheel http://www.wheelchairjunkie.com/offroadwheels.html
Extractions: Off-road wheels, that's what. Whether you're crossing a pasture on your ranch, transferring into your monoski at a ski resort, or hopping curbs on your way to work in Manhattan, you may receive increased mobility with big, fat, honkin', off-road wheels on your ultralight manual wheelchair. With wide, low PSI tires, stout rims, heavy-gauge spokes, and recessed hubs, off-road wheels can dramtically increase your ultralight wheelchair's traction, shock absorption, and durability. Still, not all off-road wheels are created equal, nor are off-road wheels for everyone's liking, so there are a few sage secrets toward getting the right match for your manual wheelchair and lifestyle. When many think of off-road wheels, knobby tires come to mind. And, indeed, tires are a practical starting point. If you don't want to purchase complete off-road wheel assemblies, which cost around $300, both Primo and Kenda tire brands offer knobby tires to fit common wheelchair rims, specifically to replace 24"x1" (25-540), 24"x1-3/8" (37-540), and 25"x1" (20-559) tires. The unquestionable benefit of simply purchasing tires is that, for under $40, you can add knobby tires to your existing wheels. However, an additional benefit is that wheelchair knobby tires are grey - as opposed to black mountain bike tires commonly used on complete off-road wheel sets - so they won't leave black marks around your home.
My New Mountain Bike Has Arrived Just over a month ago I ordered a wheelchair mountain bike from OneOff Titanium and have been going crazy waiting for it to arrive. http://www.theandycampbell.com/1/Blog/Entries/2007/7/5_My_New_Mountain_Bike_Has_

Dr Gene Emmer from 'Wheelchair' recently interviewed Stacy in order to better understand the opportunities and challenges of a champion athlete who happens to be in a wheelchair. W: Tell us more about your athletic accomplishments. We know you have earned a lot of medals. How did you get started? SK: First of all, let me say how honored I am to have you interview me, this site is a vast collection of info and knowledge, and its very cool to be asked to be a part of it. My athletic achievements have always been apart of my life. Starting in the 1980s with the sport of BMX racing and Off Road MX racing, continuing throughout my teenage years in the non-competitive sport of skateboarding, then into my life as a sit down athlete. I broke my back in 1992, so when you sit back and take a look at the bigger picture, my achievements in sit sports just blend right in with the rest of my life.
The Wheelchair Design mountain BIKE WHEELS A GOOD FIT! A wheelchair needs wheels. He selected 24 inch bicycle wheels. For added durability he selected bicycle tires made for http://www.freewheelchairmission.org/wheelchair_history.html
Extractions: Don's approach to this design was to use components that are manufactured in high volume for other products. By this method, we enjoy a low piece price cost. He removed every extra feature possible, ending up with the least expensive design that will satisfy a large portion of the world's need for wheelchairs. This wheelchair design lends itself to manufacture by highly efficient companies where assembly costs are relatively low. A LAWNCHAIR? For a wheelchair you need a chair. He selected the least expensive chair he could find - a molded plastic patio chair. Perfect! It's waterproof. It's durable. It's comfortable to sit in for long periods. It's washable. It's made in many countries. You can drill holes in the arms and legs so it can be mounted on the frame.

You don't sit on a Fourcross by R-ONE, you sit in it. Your Fourcross and you become one." says Stacy Kohut. Stacy drops into and screams down DH courses at over 40 mph and tweaks airs and rails corners the whole way down.

Send a container of wheelchairs to your sister city. A container of 280 wheelchairs can be funded by raising $21,000. This amount is fully matched by the Wheelchair Foundation.

Numerous sister city organizations have been successful in finding individual donors and community partners to make this worthwhile project happen.
