Reminds me of something I heard years ago. A friend who was going to school in Boston had a sprained ankle and found it difficult to get from dorm to class on crutches. Tried the trip on his bike, strapping a crutch to the side for the other end of the trip. Problem solved. ;)

Reminds me of when a guy with one leg (and one pedal on the bike to match) just FLEW by me on the North Branch Trail. I'm built for comfort, not for speed.

When I lived in Uptown I used to see a guy in a wheelchair that he powered with a couple of handles connected to the wheels by cranks, looked home made. This guy used to go like Hell down Sheridan.

either?  I don't have a biking story just yet, but I can add that I passed early on by a pregnant lady speedwalking when I ran the half marathon a few years ago....
