A blind South African man has set a new world record by finishing a 25 mile cycle race.
Hein Wagner finished the gruelling Construction du Cap Ninety Niner race around Durbanville in under two hours.
Wagner followed a friend with a noise-making device attached to the back of his bicycle.
And he was followed by two other cyclists, to warn him of any dangers, and a vehicle with a sign warning motorists that he was blind.
"Emotionally it was very draining," said Mr Wagner. "I had to concentrate really hard for the sake of my safety and that of other cyclists and road users."
