AZUB is supporting Spokes Fighting Strokes

We’ve met Dan Zimmerman several times. This year even twice. Once, in June, during the Pedal Point Rally, which was organized by our dealer Hostelshoppe in Wisconsin, and recently, during the Cycle-Con in Xenia, Ohio, We had already arranged our support in the summer before, and at Cycle-Con, we solidified it by giving away two trikes. This added a rear-suspended AZUB TRIcon 20 to Dan’s huge trailer, as well as our full-suspension top model in the form of the AZUB Ti-FLY 26.

Spokes Fighting Strokes is a nonprofit organization founded by Dan Zimmerman, a stroke survivor who experienced a major stroke in 2005 at the age of 41. The organization aims to assist stroke survivors in their recovery by promoting adaptive cycling as a means to regain strength, mobility, and independence. Through clinics and nationwide tours, Spokes Fighting Strokes provides opportunities for survivors to engage in adaptive cycling, fostering physical rehabilitation and emotional well-being. 

Dan Zimmerman, often referred to as “Dan the Trike Man,” has dedicated his life to inspiring others by sharing his personal journey and demonstrating the transformative power of adaptive cycling. His efforts have empowered many individuals to overcome the challenges associated with stroke recovery.

Aside from his incredible work and the hundreds of miles he puts on his trike, Dan is also known for his passion for barbecue. That’s why he also carries four huge grills in his trailer. We sampled some delicacies from them in Ohio and they were definitely unforgettable.

And then, of course, the trailer, the huge RV, and the tiny green Smart that Dan uses every year to crisscross the US on his tours while meeting stroke survivors. His 2024 tour is incredible and it’s still not over yet!
That’s the kind of rig any man would want to drive. And Dan’s about to make the trailer even bigger. He says it’s for the last time.

So we’ll take his word for it this time, and wish him many happy miles behind the wheel and behind the handlebars! He’ll need them, just like people after a stroke need Dan.
