It's all about timing and getting access to the right guy to get sponsorship. A person doesn't always have to be on a competitive level to get good sponsorship; it helps but not the only requirement.
It's not that difficult. Define a need and create a plan with a positive end result. Write it up and if possible, drop it off personally to the local "target" intended so they see a face to the request. Most like the publicity; especially for a good cause like sponsoring a bike for a person trying to maximze their potential with a goal in mind. Local newspapers are great for that.
Now back to thread of John's new shiny bike and looking forward to his review of it.Last edited by Patrick Madsen; 11 May 2010, 3:17 PM.Comment

That is a great looking armbike , John. My 'bros who I ride with are both getting them. I will have to dig deep to keep up with them.
I hugely believe in flags. The bigger the better. We get the used car lot antenna metallic flags and remove the wimpy red flag and slide them on the flag pole. It is so more visible, it would suck to go through living with SCI only to be mowed down by a car.Comment
