Designing a bike that has Multiple Sclerosis



"Paralympian Gold Medalist Carol Cooke AM led a team of neurologists, physiotherapists, bike mechanics and people living with MS to build a bike to improve understanding of multiple sclerosis. By building a bike with the symptoms of MS, the team hope to aid the treatment, diagnosis and education of this debilitating disease."
