"In 1984, I moved to Birmingham and the roads seemed more dangerous here, so I decided not to cycle.
"On the 15 March 1988, I was run over by a bus in Kings Heath. I had multiple fractures on my ankle, knee and elbow. I spent three months in hospital having operations and getting skin grafts.
"Only one leg is damaged. I just learned to kind of live with it. I don't talk about it. I'm a very optimistic person. I just try and enjoy everything and do as much as I can.
"I can only cycle using one leg at the moment, so my bike has not had The Most use.
"I love being in the Open Air . Being on a bike you're getting somewhere and you're doing something like shopping, going to work, school, friend's, parties - Cycling for me is freedom. "

"I never had stabilisers, which meant I had my fair share of cut knees and sprained ankles, but More Than anything I had fun.
"Cycling really reminds me of being A Kid on my nan and granddad's road, going up and down with my friends, going down to The Park , to shop for sweets and having what felt like this never-ending freedom.
"There's a hill that joins my nan and granddad's road To My dad's.
"That hill made me love Cycling - a little pedalling, then momentum. "
