I saw a really good programme about Disabled bikers, and about N.A.B.D. and it featured some disabled bikers (inc. female), and they talked about their accidents and their bike modifications. It was an excellent, well thought about, well executed programme (it may be a repeat) but Im surprised they showed it at 1pm on a Friday, when most people would be working...

I feel it should have had a better, later showing.

Did anyone else see it?
Was it a repeat?
It was sponsored by Bennetts and said MMIII at the end (so it was filmed a while back)

The programme was made about 3 years ago, but it's well worth watching.

Ok, I'm biased. I'm in it Thumbs Up

Not in a speaking roll though. When they came to do the interviews, I was suffering from a bout of pre-coffee tourettes syndrome Embarassed

Cheers,

Byrnie.

I remember seeing one about a man with one arm who raced, 'scratchin' i think.

He was a realy good rider too, setting competative times and everything. Only thing he couldnt do well was pull away, because he had to do so many things with one hand at once.
