You and Blind should get together and swap bike stories, Andy fell today..5 mph onto grass, I asked him "did they get all over you and react and yell..Andies down? He seemed fine. (I asked after the Bike first)
Go Andy!
ah, i can believe he fell off at 5mph
As bike are unsteady below 10mph (the inertia thing) although some handle better than others (look at the husqvana trials bikes), both myself and loads of the bike crowd have had accidents at very low speed, i think the best one was my mate, who had an accident a 0mph, and broke his arm .. yea he had been arguing with the wife, and got on the bike in a rush, tipped it over and, well it kinda landed on him... and he was stuck under it, i received strict instructions not to help the *^&*&*^% so he was there for a good 10 mins, before i had to go rescue him, serves him right for having a trans alp :P

That would be our Andy in the wheel chair,2 wheels in taddem..and here is is setting himself free.
He's a postive sort of gent..I like him.
awesome vid, all it takes is self belief, and there`s not much that you cant achieve.
Shame it was such a wet day though, but the experience of doing it would be awesome, we do a lot of charity work with the bike club, so something like that give me a real buzz, helping others do what we ordinary folk take for granted.
Hope he gets on the bike again soon, with nice weather this time
Anyone who isn't already a fan or dislikes this guy watch this and try again
