Tinkerer, builder of wheeled and other interesting contrivances.
I make things for folks who come to me with projects to make life easier for them- hand cycles, handi-capped assist stuff.

He's a walking encyclopedia of bike building knowledge, and I don't mean those boring "real" bikes. He is also a very friendly and generous soul that has inspired many with his creativity and zest for life.
Spend even a short time with Peter and you will realize that he is actually a wizard.
