Every Day Adventurers

Luke Krueger, Xtracycle owner and active lifestyle dude, managed to snap his right leg leaving him immobile and dependent on his friends and family to achieve his daily tasks. Five weeks later, Luke is getting into more active with his physical therapy and found a way to get exercise, find his independence and smile, just a bit:

Here’s a photo from one of the many ways my Xtracycle has enabled me :) I’m rehabbing from a broken leg and Doc cleared me to ride a stationary bike a couple days ago. I realized I could sit on the snapdeck of Rover here and be nice and low and safe, recumbent style, while still being able to pedal and reach the brakes. I’m sure y’all have tried this lowrider position. It got me out on my own for the first time in 5 weeks! After miles of smiles I came home and realized I could sit on the snap deck to do yard work as well, since I can’t stand on my leg yet. Here I’m sifting rocks for cobbing. Crutches on the longloader, water in the bottles, tools in the pouches.. this is so much better than the couch! Go team.
