Credits: Note that the posts here come fast and furious, and they don't usually attribute credit where it may be due. So here is an overall list of credits on this project:

Rory McCarthy - Inventor of the Morphing Handcycle and of the Morphing Wheelchair, Product Designer. Rory is a highly experienced handcyclist who rode around the world in 1995. Rory gets these wild ideas in his head and begins sketching them out. Then we all work as a team to bring the ideas to reality. Rory is a co-founder of Move With Freedom.

Bill Warner - Co-founder, Move With Freedom. Bill is a high-tech entrepreneur and has been building handcycles since 1980. On these morphing vehicles, Bill has served as angel investor, design consultant, project manager and webmaster.

Alan Ball - Industrial Designer - Alan has designed many famous products for companies such as Cuisinart. He has an amazing ability to hear a concept and have a sketch in 30 seconds. (No kidding!) Alan is managing the overall design process for our next Morph that we're calling "Morph Out." (As in get it out to people!)

John Baron - Mechanical Engineer - John is leading the detailed mechanical design of the Morph and the key components that will make it function the way we want. Morph Out will take on some new challenges, such as a new way to lock the morphing, and a whole new frame design.

Graham Butler - Product Engineer - Graham is an independent designer, and founder of Intrepid Equipment www.intrepidequipment.com Graham did the detailed product design, mechanical engineering and CAD design for Morph II and for Morph III.

George Reynolds - Frame Builder, Welder, and In-the-shop designer. George runs welding and frame building shop in Derry, NH. George has a history of making unusual vehicles, and he is an amazing welder, and clever at solving mechanical problems. For example, he designed new, lightweight aluminum morphing hinges for Morph III
