Intrepid Cycles Information

Graham Butler, Founder, Inventor & Designer, was new to handcycles in 2006, but from the first time he got on a cycle he realised that owning a cycle of this type would open up new possibilities for adventure in his life. However, when he looked into buying a handcycle he was shocked at the high price of the products on the market coupled with limited innovation. As a qualified engineer and product designer, Graham immediately began thinking of ways to build his own equipment. He founded the Intrepid Equipment company in 2007 and, over a period of 2 years he developed and tested a practical design for a handcycle that evolved into the popular Intrepid Tourer. Five years from the outset, we now have bikes on 6 continents and in all 50 states. The Intrepid company has evolved to offer a diverse product line and to provide clinic and event services. This year we plan to expand these services to cover a wider geographical area beyond the western states. We pride ourselves on providing a personal service to clients, and catering for special needs, especially for those who are physically challenged. Handcycles and recumbent cycles offer the opportunity for enjoyable and sustained physical exercise for both disabled and able-bodied people. This is a great way to keep fit.
