Martin Kreig is showing us how they used to do it back in the day. He states, “This is why I am using a backwards facing HiWheel in my ride across the United States in the summer of the 2009 as part of the Mayor’s Ride.”
Here is a little about Martin which I find fascinating:
Successes and failures on the road to recovery
After being pronounced clinically dead, wavering between life and death from a head injury, Martin Krieg regained consciousness but was paralyzed and completely helpless. The book tells what it feels like to be in this state and how a victim of head injury reacts to strange and terrifying surroundings – powerful, seductive forces which pull the patient from the outside world into nothingness.
As he began to recover, the bicycle became Martin’s favorite rehabilitation tool,. His tremendous comeback efforts are chronicled, including his much publicized transAmerica ride sponsored by the National Head injury Foundation. Finally, Martin shares his goal for a more fit and healthy America by describing his plans for a national bicycle highway, which are now well underway.
Here is a plug for Martin’s book: Awake Again by Martin Krieg
Two bike rides across America after two months in a coma, right side paralysis and clinical death. A Timeless True Story!
Just when I think I am having a tough week!
Thanks so much for looking.
