There's a guy near where I live who is looking for other amputees to put together some sort
of team.

Steve Cook's a bka lives in Salt Lake and works at Wildrose. He's a world champion in nordic skiing
and was I think 5th in track cycling in the '96 paraolympics.

He's also one of the strongest mtn bikers in SLC. One or two legs.

Somewhere here alt.mountain-bike or rec.bicycles.tech I read a thread with reference to somebody
who was a double amputee who rode fairly seriously.

My mother met a chap who'd lost both legs in the Gulf, but rode a recumbent handcycle; the front
part detatched to make it a more conventional wheelchair.

Sadly, he was unable to complete his planned circuit of Iceland because of the difficulty of
fording rivers.

what do you do for a living?

UNIX sysadmin, but I don't see the relevance to amputee cyclists, to put it mildly.

Just that I see a lot of your post in the rec.bicycles.tech newsgroup, thought you worked in a bike
related environment. -tom
