Bike Handle Adapter
To learn about what each of the above icons represents, please refer to the Device Ratings Guide.
Designer: David Bulnes
Description:
Simple adapter to allow for steering a bicycle handlebar more comfortably. It allows for the coupling to "fail" in case of a fall, disconnecting itself from the handle when pushed too far to the sides with some strength, like in an accidental fall. The design also does not restrict the driver from removing his limb from the device in case of a fall or crash.

Hi, @Rosemary Astheimer. Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with this design, so I don’t have any specific scaling advice. But if you take some measurements from your daughter’s wrist/limb, you can then take measurements of the interior of the socket for this design by using the measure tool in Meshmixer (a free download). From that, you can determine how much to scale it up or down with a little math. If you post something in our main forum, you’ll probably find volunteers who are willing to assist you.
@Jon Schull, @Ben Rubin, @Bob Rieger, it looks to me like the designer who submitted this (David Bulnes) does not have an account on the Hub. We may want to consider a requirement that designers have an active account on the Hub in order to have their designs listed in the catalog. Makes it much easier for users to get support.
