My fraternal twin brother has cerebral palsy and used to ride a 3-wheeler when he was much younger. I am hoping to get him back on a bicycle someday again. This is an inspiring article that I will gladly share. -Keep on Ridin’…!

I am the subject of this post, and I have been thinking about your comment for a couple of days, it really makes me smile. There are two other amazing comments by paradoxical bike riding cane users, and it’s so wonderful to know that there are a few of us. Here’s to the Cane Cycling Club!

Kind of crazy to ride my bike, park and then pull out my collapsing cane. I get some funny looks but it works for me. Good to know it works for others. Stay strong and keep riding!

I’m glad I’m not alone in strapping it to the top tube of my bike.

My solution is a folding cane; I sacrifice strength for portability.

Thanks for these articles, Momentum. As someone who is disabled and living with an immune disorder, it does my heart a lot of good to know that there are others like me out there who still ride.
