Paulo lives in Portugal and has a right arm TBPI.

He hasn't let that stop him from getting back on two wheels again. Visit his website at http://www.geocities.com/paulo_go/index.html

for more information. He has very kindly given me permission to reproduce some of the pictures off his site onto this one in the hope that it might help people.  Thanks Paulo!

Paulo tries riding the bike with just velcro holding his hand on the handlebars. This method is unstable and can cause problems if you have to brake hard.

Here the handlebars are adapted for one handed use...the controls are all on the left.

After much experimentation, this is the tool that was developed by an orthotisist to enable Paulo to ride the bike safely.

Here is how the tool fits......

...and here

Paulo proving that with the help of a little bit of twisted plastic and metal, you can ride a bike safely with only one hand!
