Reclaiming freedom - Pete and his kettwiesel cross

Pete has Primary Lateral Sclerosis. About 5 years ago, he started noticing problems with his balance and movement. He used to ski and bike race in the mountains of Vermont, so he looked to RAD to help him get back to the active lifestyle he loved. He now rides a Hase Bikes Kettwiesel Cross STEPS recumbent trike with disc brakes, full suspension and battery assist. ​

Bike rides with the yellow house community
