In September 2012 I started a 6 month training program working for Thomas Schmicking, Schmicking Reha Tecknic GmbH, Holzwickede, Germany with a view to setting up handbike sales and servicing in the UK. I spent my time fitting and measuring customers and bikes, completing orders, assembling and servicing handbikes. I go back to Schmicking once a month for 3 or 4 days to work and train.
I am actively involved with Hand Cycle Association UK, fitting, servicing and adjusting bikes at Taster Days. I run the handbiking sessions for the Inter Spinal Unit Games (Wheelpower) and the adult and junior games (Limbpower).
Thank you for your interest.
