NUDGE: GlideCycle


This unique-looking bicycle, with its u-shaped frame rising above the cycler's head and its suspended bicycle seat, gives people with physical disabilities a new alternative to exercise and for play. The GlideCycle was specifically designed to eliminate any kind of bone or joint pressure for riders. Unlike a traditional bicycle, the GlideCycle supports the person's body weight in its patented ergonomic saddle seat that is custom adjusted to each individual and lifts him or her into its smooth-arch suspension, allowing individuals to run, walk, or glide along with ease. The GlideCycle is similar to a bicycle in that it has a handlebar, a seat, and two tires but since your feet are always touching the ground, they act as an added balance feature.

The GlideCycle is ideal for those individuals with conditions such as: leg amputation, arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and joint disorders (back, knee, ankle, foot, hip). The GlideCycle does require some ability to balance, but for those that may need more support, a tricycle version is being developed.
