June 30, 1998: Mobility Engineering resurects the HandBikeThe following is a paraphrasing of a message I received from Peter Rieke <peter.rieke@mobilityeng.com>

In memory of Chris SchwandtChris Shwandt (1946-1996), proprietor of New Dimensions Designs, died of a heart attack on November 13, 1996. According to the brief notice in New Mobility magazine,"Chris considered theHandBike the perfect expression of his life interests, combining sculpture, mechanical design and a profound sense of shared adventure." I never met the man face-to-face, but in many long conversations with him over the phone, I found him to be a very warm-hearted, thoughtful man, with a passion for his work/art. He'll be missed by many. To go to the original handbike page follow this link. |
