ABSTRACT:
A commuting system providing primary and secondary devices for commuting for a wheelchair-confined operator is provided in the form of a hand-powered and controlled tricycle and a rack mounted on the tricycle, the rack being adapted to carry a wheelchair during operation of the tricycle. The tricycle is provided with a footrest that retains the legs of a paraplegic operator by tipping the feet of the operator to angle the legs inwardly and force the knees of the operator together. The tricycle further includes a suspension system to provide an operator with a relatively comfortable ride over typical sidewalk and roadway surfaces.
