I have made several observations after having followed our amazing crew of cyclists through the streets of Colorado Springs for the last four days. First of all, our cyclists rip! They are amazing athletes. People stop and stare. They do so for various reasons I can imagine. First is that these athletes don’t have typical bicycle equipment (more on that later). Second, these athletes are pretty fit looking. Third, they are not used to seeing people in hand/leg adaptive propelled cycles go so fast!
We have had great support from the Colorado Springs community. They have been friendly, cheered us on, engaged us in friendly conversations, and kindly shared the roads.
I help people with “disabilities” overcome their barriers on a daily basis, so I am not quite shocked to see such an accomplishments, however, these Paralympic cyclists really are very inspiring!
