What an incredible story, mountain biking is for everyone 🚵♂️
Tom Wheeler's prep for a mountain bike ride is a little different to most.
As well as putting on his helmet and gloves, he straps on a one of a kind arm brace - a piece of adaptive technology he built himself
Wheeler lost the use of his right arm in race crash 15 years ago, but even from his hospital bed, he was plotting his return to the sport>
"The brace was something I dreamed up in hospital. I just pictured myself with this arm brace and getting back to doing what I always did," he says
