Forrest doesn't have a company quite yet. He has little more than a sketch and a tiny prototype. He hasn't even patented his cycle. He only approached a lawyer about what to do next after he heard he had won the Slates contest. He has no idea what it will cost to make his cycle or if there's a market for it.
Riders steer and pedal the four-wheeled vehicle with their hands.
While there are several racing cycles for the disabled, Forrest says his is the first that can take rough ground or city potholes. Although Forrest is not disabled himself, he is an avid mountain biker. They lucked out on that score. For his part, Forrest plans to lean heavily on Outside Magazine, whose role as a contest sponsor is to give him advice and open doors. The magazine is picking up the tab for Forrest to attend the Outdoor Retailer trade show next September.
