I so understand where your coming from there. You have all the time in the world to make up your mind, and as you said, don't even have to think about it for a couple of years

$6million Sinc.

Hell of a way to secure a nice bit of kit though!

I never realised that it would be as high tech as that. £1200 seems cheap for all that engineering.

£1200 is just for the foot!
The knee is another £5000

Hi
Get in touch with the National Association of Disabled Bikers. www.nabd.co.uk these guys will get you back on a bike in no time. They have designed adaptations for all sort of disabillities. Most of the adaptations are provided free through a grant scheme. Both my legs are fecked (from birth) and I have ridden for 27 years. I found out about the NABD last year joined (£20.00) applied for a grant a received a Kliktronic gear shifter plus a cheque to pay a local dealer to fit it. my riding has never been so good, I think so anyway ( I used to take my foot off and kick the lever down and hook my foot under the lever and lift my leg to change gear) I still need to lift my left leg on to the foot peg but now I have a push button system for the gears) if its your right leg get a thumb brake for the rear brake if its your left get a kliktronic. There is one lady member that lost both legs and rides a Hornet she has these staberlizers that come down as she slows down. The NABD also give grants towards the building of trikes.
