Come one, Come all!

Here's your chance to try out some adaptive trikes at the Cycle 4 CMT event!

​This is Pete’s story, so we’ll let him tell it in his own words:

David Black had the opportunity to discuss Frame Running on the Cerebral Palsy Health Podcast with Jen Lyman. 

Jen talks with physical therapist and cerebral palsy researcher Theresa Sukal Moulton and Frame Runner manufacturer/vendor David Black of RAD-Innovations about the recreational and adaptive sport of Frame Running. A Frame Runner is an adaptive running frame that looks similar to a bike without pedals which allows individuals with CP to run or walk with minimal to no assistance. They discuss the history of Frame Running, who can participate, how it works, research to support it and how to get involved.

Listen via one of the podcast sites linked below.

RAD-Innovations was recently featured in Seven Days, a popular local Vermont weekly paper & website. The article shares founders Anja Wrede and David Black's journey establishing RAD-Innovations as "the Northeast epicenter of adaptive cycling — customizing bikes for people with disabilities."

Learn more about Anja & David, their farm, and the reasons why they work so hard to bring freedom through mobility to anyone, regardless of ability.

​It can be tough for individuals with cerebral palsy to find a sport they can participate in as kids, teens, or adults. You or your child might face limitations in terms of coordination, balance, motor ability due to spasticity, stiff muscles, or involuntary movements. Finding an activity that raises your heart rate can be a challenge.
 
The good news is that physical impairments do not have to prevent you from enjoying sports! There’s a whole world of adaptive sports designed for individuals with different levels of mobility. In this article we’ll introduce some of these sports and highlight one in particular: RaceRunning (also known as Frame Running), which is one of the most accessible and affordable sports out there for people with cerebral palsy.

RAD-Innovations and Hase Bikes USA are open during regular business hours on weekdays from 9am to 6pm. However, we no longer accept drop-ins and all on-site demonstrations are strictly by appointment. Contact us to schedule an appointment. 

The State of Vermont requires the use of masks or cloth facial coverings "any time it is not possible to maintain a physical distance of at least six feet with others from outside their household." Please remember to bring - and wear - your mask when you visit.

We continue our practices of cleaning and sanitizing surfaces regularly, including wiping down and sanitizing all products that come through our showroom, both inbound & outbound. We’re  also wearing gloves when handling items that will be shipped to customers.

Thankfully, we are all in good health and none of us have been affected by the virus thus far. We hope you are staying safe and healthy as well!

Get out and enjoy the delights of summer - on a bike, trike, or RaceRunner, of course! We're here when you need us.

​Recumbent trikes are a lot of fun to ride. They’re comfortable, accessible, stable, and guaranteed to turn heads on the bike trails. Who can ride a recumbent trike? Just about anyone!
 
Why ride a recumbent trike?
 
There are a lot of great reasons that anyone would choose a recumbent trike over a traditional two wheeled upright bike, beyond the obvious cool factor (which is significant). Recumbent trikes are comfortable, stable, speedy, sporty, and practical. Let’s take a look at a few of the top factors that make recumbent trike riding a superior cycling experience.

Comfort

­It’s important to stay active but distant during this time of an extremely contagious epidemic. Fortunately, cycling is a safe way to get exercise, fresh air, and some distance from the constant flood of negative news that surrounds us right now. As one bicycle dealer noted, bikes are “the original social distancing vehicle.” If you can, we strongly encourage you to go for a bike ride – you’ll definitely feel better as a result!​

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Vermont’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order, RAD-Innovations and HASE Bikes USA are currently unable to conduct in-person business at our Cornwall, VT location, but we’re committed to providing support in ways that ensure everyone stays safe.

Join RAD-Innovations this weekend at the Montreal Bicycle Show! The show starts Friday, February 21st and runs through Sunday, February 23, 2020. 

We'll be joining over 250 exhibitors at the Montreal Olympic Stadium for what promises to be a great three days. This is Canada's biggest cycling-related show, so we're excited to participate! Come check out all the bikes, trikes, equipment, accessories, clothing, and more! 

We'll be at Booth 301, right near the test track, and we'll have the ICE Full Fat, ICE Adventure, and HASE Kettwiesel recumbent trikes, the HASE Pino tandem bike, and our own RAD RaceRunner running trikes available for demo rides.

We're particularly excited to introduce our RAD RaceRunner running trikes to the cycling world - these trikes can be used for recreation or competition and are a wonderful aid to those who have mobility challenges, allowing almost anyone to walk or run on their own!

On Saturday, Pierre Julien will be joining us - he and his wife Claudette have logged thousands of miles around the world on their solar-charged electric assist HASE Pino. Come learn about his adventures and find out why the Pino is so well-suited for long-haul touring. Check out their blog French Frogs on the Road to learn more about Pierre & Claudette's Pino journey.
