Accessible Cycling Assembly – Speaker Series: Peter Warkentin
July 16 @ 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Join Peter for an informal and personal talk about mobility – and then a chance to test and share equipment afterward.
Peter Warkentin is a musician, cat-appreciator, intermediate conversationalist, and one of the co-founders of the slow tooth-brushing movement. But seriously, he has become somewhat of an expert in mobility policy having recently contributed to a major national survey of home care practices and the provision of mobility equipment across Canada.
His lived experience includes a sudden loss of the use of his legs as an adult and the adaptations needed to continue his love of cycling
This is a chance to learn about e-trike attachments for manual wheelchairs, and hear as he shares his personal experience with a new e-bike attachment for his wheelchair that changed everything.
Also Peter likes puns. And he’ll prove it.
