Welcome to gcoureur!
In Belgium, home of cycling, they call a paracyclist “G-wielrenner”. That explains the “G” in gcoureur.cc
In 1995 I suffered a plexus lesion as a result of a traffic accident. Because I could find little information at the time regarding adjustments to my bicycle and as a fanatic cyclist I have now gained quite a bit of experience, I would like to share this with you. Feel free to ask questions, maybe I can help you further! And be sure to check out the webshop with cool stuff. Because I am a member of Gaul.nl – Cycling for War Child, I donate €5 to War Child Netherlands for every item sold!
