Teresa Elinor and her son Flynn (14), who has Angelman Syndrome, completed the London to Brighton Ride earlier this month on their power-assisted Boxer Breeze cargo bike.

The Boxer Breeze ‘wheelchair tandem’ is a large, UK designed and built, cargo bike especially built to take a full size 18″ wheelchair.



Talking about the route taken by Teresa and Flynn, Boxer’s Managing Director, Jeremy Davies said: “The 54 mile route of the ride includes the famous Ditchling Beacon, which is gruelling for a normal cyclist, let alone a mum pedalling a large cargo bike and her son in a wheelchair and with a total weight of nearly 250kg on the hottest day of the year so far!”

That is the best real life test of the Shimano Steps system I have seen. I don't blame it for stalling on a 16% climb! I bet it would have made it with better gearing well done Boxer!
