For many of us the weather is just now getting warm enough for us to get outside and be active. Cycling being one of those activities. Cycling equipment for people with disabilities usually conjures up images of a racing wheelchair, handbike, or special leg prosthetic. Well British product design student Andrew Flynn thought of another demographic. He designed a special hand prosthesis for cycling called the ProControl.

This prosthesis is made to grip and hold steady on the handlebar. Two different grips even allow for use of the handbrake. The design positions the arm so weight is distributed where it needs to be.
