Uplifting Cwmcarn with Tom Wheeler - Video
If you've never heard of Tom Wheeler, you've surely been living under a rock. His inspirational story has not only changed his life, but the lives of others who have similarly injured themselves and unfortunately lost some movement in the process.
Tom's approach to overcoming his disability through technology and innovation are something else altogether, as his latest bike and this video prove. For more on Tom's latest ride, check out his bike check here.
Tom's adapted and highly capable, Nicolai Geometron.

Met Tom once and he is an inspiration. Im typing this as I recover from broken neck, 5 busted ribs, pierced lung and a broken collar bone. I will ride again and seeing films like this should inspire many people to just get out and ride

The bike check is definately worth checking out...
I've no idea how you have the dexterity and grip to control both brakes, gears, and dropper and still hang on! It's great to see you continue your passion and that people have stepped up to adapt your bike to your abilities. Kudos!

I saw Tom on Saturday and wasn't brave enough to ask what the deal was with his setup but I was silently very impressed. Goes to show that grit can get you a very very long way if you want to make stuff happen.
