As you can see, this is not an ordinary bike. It is designed for handicapped athletes who must use their upper-body strength, their hands and arms to propel themselves along. I hesitate to use the word “handicapped,” because his well-muscled arms were pushing that bike along at a rapid clip, and that man must be in admirable cardio-vascular health. He would, I surmise, make some of us who may consider ourselves in good condition think twice before competing with him on a regular bike.
The other thought that surfaced is to remind myself of how much I can do with what I have, and to stop complaining about what I could do if I had more. I don’t know who this person is. Nevertheless he is a shining light for many of us, an example of what can be overcome, and of what can be done with what is.
