Adam Rose - Handcycle Racer

Adam Rose, top handcycle racer in Michigan. Top junior hanndcycle racer in USA.

[@Spazticspaz]

Need more videos of him, Don. This guy is an inspiration and I'm thinking about crowd funding a bike for my para cousin. He's always been a huge hardass before his accident, I know if I got him one he would excel like this young man!

[@evansmith396]

I find these types of videos quite helpful. I am working in the ideal positioning on my handcycle to maximize efficiency. Watching this straight line cranking is great reference. Based on this video, I need to recline more and move my crankset down and back.

[@devtinnitram]

cool, beter than my USVA delta trike. Tanks for posting this video.

[@mikemacdonald4315]

this is a great handcycle have used this a few times myself...definately wished i could afford one!

[@DippySippy]

Better than the quickie shark isnt it.

[@palmvictory]

Racing handcycles are some of the tightest lookin' trikes, wow. Looking good.

[@bigchad007]

Man that thing is cool!! Thanks for sharing!

[@espressionant]

suggestion, with the arms you can easily push and pull, while legs mostly push. Additionally legs are typically used with 180°phase while arms are typically used in sync.

[@willowstrance]

Yes, Hand-Crank and Pushrim wheelchairs are designed for disabled athletes. Adam rocks! Not only is he a great athlete he is a wonderful young man.

[@bigtittyslabs]

i have a grandmother whos leg was ran over as a child in germany by a tank and she will never be able to enjoy running or ridding a bike, this is one thing that im trying to make happen for her before she leaves this earth.

[@OttosTheName]

+Shawn Morton That does sound likely. However that's quite irrelevant. The fact that a tank might mess up your leg beyond saving doesn't disprove the fact that she was hit by a tank. Your comment makes no sense whatsoever.

[@palmvictory]

Nasty ride, Buddy! : )

[@PhantomDG1]

Cool looking bike. Not sure if I'd like the impeded view with the crank, wheels etc being in your line of sight. Still cool tho !

[@MrJohn1966elliott]

Good Luck for Adam Rose for Next Race. I'm Deaf Western Australian Recumbent rider. ( normal Bike )

[@vistigioful]

These bikes seem interesting. I would like to try one.

[@hatatatuken]

I call this one the elbow eraser..

[@casualguy393]

or the double elbow red line maker :P

[@handbikeamerica]

Thousands of miles without contact to the frame or the road except one accident on my Freedom Ryder head first forward flip after contact with a curb hit with my rear right wheel I didn't expect. Had to replace two rims and skin in a number of places. I hit my chin on the cub on the other side of the road, no stitches needed. Yes I was going very fast after a down hill and made a last instant decision to turn right. I am no Evil Kanevil! Winter in Colorado so I am mono-skiing at Copper Mountain and Eldora Resort a couple times a week and my Force RX hand cycle on my Cyclops indoor trainer till spring.

[@Taizunx]

ok

[@olivermolinacuevas9030]

How are you I 'm Oliver and I'm studying 3 semester of high school, I 'm doing a project with colleagues in my room which is a bike for disabled and non-disabled who can pedal with your hands, my problem is that I doubt about how to put the brake system in a way that leads to turning the pedals could you tell me how your handbike works in the brake system can not get stuck ? I would appreciate. Cheers

[@smk11111]

good one bud. keep it up

[@AJaxxAnthem]

That concept is built for speed.

[@6silence9]

Wonder why the grips are together and not apart like on a bicycle?

[@alfonsogaribayjr.1806]

Whats your current average pace? Current fastest pace?

[@ricardodunya]

OoooK, lo quiero ver en una subida

[@mrchristian7382]

how do you steer this think?!

[@zawest2011MoBiLe]

I'm looking at starting a shop that sells recumbent bicycles, and trikes, and velomobiles. And, will be including cycles that are made specifically for the physically challenged.

[@CyberiusT]

I appreciate the need for handcycles, and recumbent bikes... I've been looking at getting one. This video, though, is rubbish - even if the product is any good (which you can't tell). Endless footage of the rider going in a straight (or near-straight) line, over flat sealed surface... This does not demonstrate for how much effort it takes to get the bike started, or how it brakes, or handles bumps, or corners. 1 out of 10, dude.

[@DippySippy]

For racing mate

[@skate1373]

wht happens when u try to take on a curb or speed bump?

[@nikky265]

Hahaha just when i tought i was the only one that i saw the elbow erasing :D

[@edilenedeluzsantos2596]

oi linda!

[@Docv400]

Why? It doesn't tilt for cornering, so the elbows never get any closer to the ground than that.

[@jallexander82]

if i wanna take a curve, how can i make it?

[@ricardo40301]

¿donde encuentro una y cuanto cuestan?

[@eliaspianomusic]

Holy moly... He have to be really really strong :O

[@jakecassidy1015]

Not really, looks like he weighs 100lbs, alot easier to ride the less you weigh, I ride a hancycle too and I'm 220lbs.

[@luisantoniobenavidesmolina683]

Es maravilloso

[@RomanKnight88]

cool handbike :D

[@ORGANICxCYCLIST]

i wonder how often he scrapes his elbow on the ground? cause it looks like it would happen quite often

[@skyflier95]

yes

[@sven31415]

I had exactly the same thought. That is real aero and not the crappy time trial bikes.

[@zawest2011MoBiLe]

These are meant more for racing anyway. On track, usually within a Velodome.

[@bigtittyslabs]

where can i order one of these?

[@mileshy]

I would like to give you guys/gals a run for your money . . . where can I get parts . . . I want to put something together and come to your gathering(s).

[@tonyboroni6949]

looks like hard work

[@gabthebasher5538]

How does one keep a strait face while riding this

[@InfoDav]

The bike is very nice looking

[@mannequinfukr]

this is something I would recommend for people in those wheelchairs

[@rayzhistorychannel]

why does he crank together and not alternately?

[@LucasAlves-vn3lt]

Alguém do Brasil por aqui?

[@LucasAlves-vn3lt]

Eu

[@espressionant]

LINYJumper, why is everything, which is unknown immediately thought as dangerous. This is a race Handbike and like bike racing the biggest danger is doping and overtraining. Accidents are rare and mostly harmless. He won't scrape his elbows as the bike doesn't dive in corners. The feets are fixed to prevent leg suck, the chain is only moving if his hands are moving because of the low center of gravity, it is almost not flippable and in the events of a collision, you are feet first vs head first

[@emilymcgee6936]

how do you turn on it!?

[@Astrix_Jaeger]

+Kids Mcgee no switch needed

[@ib6405]

you just move it, kinda like if you have your hands on each side of a steering wheel. thats what it feels like

[@zawest2011MoBiLe]

Ok, I see that it's got great momentum.......but what about turning radius, and ease of handling during a turn? I have friends that could use a cycle that will allows for them to move forward with their physical health.

[@bentBuilder]

I think if i were designing it, i'de make it more of a row boat action. it looks a bit awkward pedaling... cool ride nonetheless

[@Hirotoro4692]

No elbow pads? Really? His skin comes so close to the tarmac.

[@robbiedaug]

+Will Davis Yea my eye was drawn to that right away. The elbows come way too close to the ground. I kept thinking if there were big enough (small) rocks on the road it could really hurt a lot.

[@MrPavePaws]

+Will Davis Tarmac? I dont see planes, I see cars parked along the road. His full power rotation never came to close so he figured why wear pads.

[@MoondancerRec]

I would use an elbow protector... just in case!

[@joshuavannais5460]

Hahahah, I would get a pair of elbow pads so you don't destroy your elbows on the pavement

[@Thyhack.]

good point

[@jamisonsmith6069]

Me too

[@rasheed1669]

uphill?

[@nouaordine8342]

this bike would be very usefull for people in wheelchairs ! do you agree ?

[@shane4279]

it's cool !

[@stephaniefroment5252]

Comment tu tourne

[@hbourj]

about the direction don't balance while pedaling (with te hands)

[@Patriot_of_God_777]

Anybody else on a random video streak?

[@KevinP32270]

EPIC!!

[@ЧёрныйтрафикКремля]

Вот откуда появился терминатор )

[@jre99grad]

nothing like creating carpal tunnel and forward head posture

[@chaoli4006]

the road is very good

[@roseliinocencioinocencio5364]

Quato costa um dese

[@spillow762]

is this for handicapped?

[@roseliinocencioinocencio5364]

Quato custa

[@marcospauloleite8350]

nossa esse triciclo deve ser bom para ralar o cutuvelo

[@Faithfuljuggernauts144pk]

that cool good engineering YAH BLESS

[@mcmaster1321]

Yesh

[@michaelst.george9856]

Not some thing I would want to ride on the street by my self. People run in to other cars all the time let alone some kid laying on the ground... in the road. Stay safe

[@Texassince1836]

interesting, verry interesting

[@vistigioful]

Now how about we combine together hand power and foot power.

[@driewiel]

That thing is low. You can see the underside of road markings from there.

[@fujin09]

and now a speed bump

[@95concours]

Looks like a real ball breaker if you hit something dead on.

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry keys got stuck in caps lock while I was picking up my jaw off the floor.

[@jaison1391]

in all honesty i doubt very often. unless his hand slipped off the cranks or during a turn.

[@paranutaus]

For idiots who no longer have use of their legs yet still want to get out and about? smart comment mate. I have lost use of my legs and I would love one of these.

[@mainman1473]

I want one

[@jaxynshankle8183]

no you don't

[@NilsAusta]

I thought handcycle will go much slower. In this video it looks like it goes very fast.

[@PyroJames421]

They see me rollin' They hatin'

[@максиммазуренко-е6о]

klass

[@sanyaveloshahta]

Гепа (Кернес с Харькова) на таком трайке катал...

[@globodasutilidades9165]

no direction ?

[@mariusjenkins7294]

Do the humpty hump!

[@Demon09-_-]

watching this in 2016 and thinking where's his brakes and steering the wheels all looked fixes

[@Demon09-_-]

fixed°

[@ib6405]

nope it all moves, hes just going straight obviously

[@firmclock]

my neck would be killing me

[@MsFilologo]

A menos que haya la imposibilidad de usar las piernas no le veo la utilidad de exponer los codos y el físico terminando incrustado en la panza de alguna camioneta o en la defensa de un auto. Sería útil para discapacitados pero un poco mas alto para un fácil acceso .

[@utubecrc]

I wonder if he ever smacks his elbows?

[@nelloblack]

Hellaflush!

[@vladya7728]

а как же безопасность??? защиты в районе локтей нет, почти касаются асфальта...

[@joshski85]

The head posistion is actualy no different to sitting on a couch or chair and is far less worse for you then sitting on an computre chair all day at work. The risk of carpal tunnel is very small, you use your shoulders through to your arms to move not your wrist. And in any case the benifits of someone in a chair being active far outway the risks of sitting on you're ass.

[@currishev]

Yep, cool.. still 15 sec would suffice not to insult the reason of ordinary viewer.

[@elwood173]

its mainly for people that are paralyzed.

Los codos esta muy cerca del pavimento.. (peligroso )

[@devatoks]

a head on crash would be devastating if you know what i mean

[@orion1ist]

why am i watching this

[@oPickful]

Elbow!

[@Flip111000]

not bad

[@bogdanmihai2781]

good exercise for chest xD

[@XxXxSELFMADExXxX]

Id be less concerned with wearing a helmet and a little more concerned about some elbow pads

[@DippySippy]

Is it because you have no brain

[@1Mastadont1]

А рулить то как? И локти по земле ...... !
