That guy reminds me of two separate incidents - both of which readjusted my attitude.
1) We were driving through the Colorado Rockies (Wolf Creek Pass? maybe) and stopped to eat. We noticed a guy on a road bike with one prosthetic leg trucking up the pass - making darn good time. We were impressed.
2) We were hiking up Mt. Blanca, struggling and gasping for breath when we were passed by a guy with one leg. Man, could he USE his crutches - he was taking strides racehorses would be proud of, uphill, on a rocky trail.
Yeah, DH & I are wimps.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
