Nice S30 with panniers Video - One Handed!

[ak-tux]

Came across this video, very nice! He rides with one hand due to a disability. Amazing!

I wonder how those panniers are attached considering the rear suspension! He says he used a front bicycle rack. Looks nice.

Truly amazing! Where did you find this? I wonder how he found Cruzbike, then decided he could ride one one-handed, and then proceeded to build one up and ride it that way. I never cease to be amazed at the human spirit.

If you look carefully at the video at 1:06 he even rides hands free in order to drink while riding !

I don't think that he rides hands free.

I don't think that he rides hands free.

Probably he stops to drink? The bike also has front and rear derailleurs. I wonder how shifters are installed for both on the left hand?

I haven't realised that he has only one arm.

Yes, the right arm is disabled and is supported on a special brace attached to the bike. Look carefully and you will notice. A man with a great determination to learn to ride a cruzbike with one hand!

Please post up if you get any more info on the pannier rack installation. It looks like an excellent solution. I watched another of his videos where it looks like he is learning to ride the S30. Impressive indeed.

It's a lowrider front bicycle rack mounted on the Silvio rear wheel facing backwards. (Probably the same idea should also work with a Vendetta.) He has some pictures on his facebook page:

Thanks! Looks like an elegant solution. Keeps the load nice and low.
