If you're an amputee and a motorcycle enthusiast, check out the June issue of "Bike" magazine, a British racing bike publication about an amputee named Martin Culverhouse.
Martin's racing bike is outfitted with a right-footed gear shifter rather than the standard left. The rear brakes are operated by a thumb lever.

About Me
- Mike
- Brisbane, QLD, Australia
- Originally from Canada, I grew up in a small frozen prairie town called Innisfail, Alberta before moving to Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island, finally getting my fishing boat. In a never ending quest to beat my sister to at least one country in my life, I've travelled to Japan, Hong Kong, China, England, Germany, France, Italy and Brazil most recently taking a much needed rest in Brisbane, Australia, for the past year. In October of 2008 my left ankle was crushed in a motor vehicle accident. This is the creepy part: after eleven surgeries, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at approximately eleven in the morning my left leg was amputated below the knee. I won't say that I lost my leg; it's not like I misplaced it; but I am in the market for a new one.
