Yeah nah, cool story but why does every article have to be about some 'inspirational' disabled person? Just let him ride his bike in peace.

Hana Stewart2026-07-13T20:20:41.000Z

sound like a real ray of sunshine. Some of us actually like seeing good news for once.

stuffed mate. If you don't like it scroll past. Simple as.

He broke his neck and still gets back on the bike. That's guts. Most people would just give up.

This is so cool! Adaptive mountain biking is really growing. Love seeing this kind of stuff in Taranaki.

Casey Adams2026-07-13T21:21:41.000Z

people just love to hate. Let the bloke have his moment.

Serious question: how does the adaptive bike work? Looks like it's got some sort of stabilisers?

What a legend. My mate's brother had a similar injury, he's been in a wheelchair for years. Stuff like this gives hope.

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T22:48:41.000Z

it's a whole custom setup. There's a video on YouTube that explains the geometry. Bloody impressive engineering.

Adaptive biking is mint. The tracks around here are getting better for accessibility too. Good on the local clubs for supporting it.

there's a group in Chch doing the same. It's catching on.
