Wow. So that's the guy you were talking about in class today. That's incredible- it's good to see that even though something bad like that happened to him, he still overcame and continued to pursue bike riding. It's a good attitude/mindset.

There is a Brazilian in the skateboarding world that does something like that. His legs never fully developed so he skateboards sitting down using his hands. Here is a You Tube link. Check out a little bit of it.

That's really cool. This guy spoke at our Easter service last year that had no arms or legs but had the best attitude I've ever seen. These kind of people always remind me to do more thanking and less complaining!
