Also called a hand cycle. State law was modified a few years ago
via legislation developed by Wisconsin Bike Fed to specifically include
hand powered cycles within the definition of a bicycle, which previously
had been limited to cycles powered by pedals. With the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the number of cyclists with absent lower limbs increased
significantly.

Let me complicate the legal discussion. Does a track stand

Um, when a bicyclist with no feet operates on any public roadway,
there's never a foot on the ground. Any law that references a foot on
the ground would have to be itself in violation of the rights of a
cyclist with a disability.
