    A great rider

    I took pics again at Hearltland Park Topeka and was inspired by this racer. No photoshop here and yes he has only 1 arm. I talked to him for a while, a great guy.

    Definitely impressive. Besides the obvious difficulties of riding a bike with only one arm, he has to operate 3 different controls all with his left hand.
