Michael Trimble was born without arms, but is quite capable and independent. Still, he’s always wanted to own a bicycle since trying one as a child.
About a year ago, Mr. Trimble, 27, ordered online from REI a single-speed bicycle with a coaster brake and began to search for someone to customize it — but “no one wanted to touch it. … They told me that I am either a liability or that what I asked them to do could not be done.”
And then he met Michael Brown, the owner of Maestro Frameworks – maestroframeworks.com – on the North Side.
