Mike:
The design and handling of the FRH-1 are great, I really like the
cycle! You have put a lot into it and it shows.
Tom McCurdy, Spokane, Washington Dear Freedom Ryder "Just a quick note to let you know how much I have enjoyed the Freedom Ryder handcycle... By far it exceeds my every expectation. I cannot even compare it to the previous chair I was using. The Superbike took cycling up one more level that I didn't even know existed. Some of the technology used on the Superbike was incredible... the body leaning turn system that was incorporated is unparalleled with it's handling capability. I am now able to do things I never dreamed possible on a handcycle. Thanks for all of your help Steve, I'll be thanking you every time I get on the Superbike…I'll never ride anything else."

2008-NEW WORLD RECORD: 322.4 MILES IN 24 HOURS
Keane West holding medal for new World Record set on his Superbike LC-1 In Keane's own words:
This was my first attempt at a 24 Hour cycling endurance race.
Saturday the16th of Feb, I entered the Bike Sebring 12/24 hour Ultra Cycling
RAAM qualifier.
Knowing I wanted to beat the world record, is what I had planted in my mind
only two weeks ago, and that is exactly what I did. The previous
record was set back in September, 2005 by 6 athletes: Thomas
Schmicking, Nigel Barkey, Jan Kalden, Dave Abrutat, Guy Rappe, and Mat
Updike; their mileage was 287.2 miles. I smashed their record at
322.4 miles, 'on my own'. I believe I can beat my own record, by at
least another 30 miles, if my fuel mixture is right.
Saturday morning started out in the low 40 degree range, winds were gusting
between 20 to 30 mph down some highways and hilly back roads with grades of
5% to 8% on them. I carried enough fuel on me for the first 100 miles,
after that I stopped at sag stops for water to put in my hammer nutrition
about every 50 miles for the first 12 hours. For the last 12
hours at night I was on a motor speedway. I had to put lights on my
bike for this part and I had a pit crew to fill my fluids every 10 laps and
every lap was 3.9 miles. I was really tired after 18 hours, so
one of my pit crew suggested No-Doze. That was a mistake! Taking
2 every 2 hours or so it made me delirious with stomach cramps to go with
it. I wanted to do more, but my mind wouldn't let me. This was a
very mental and physical challenge for me this first time, but I love
to challenge myself, to go beyond my normal limits of pain and stress.
This is what makes life great, to push the envelope until you think your
going to pass out, and keep going with inspirational encourage from my
piers.
