You've probably seen similar before, but I still bet you drop your jaw at least once.

You do know not to try this at home, right.

Martyn Ashton broke his neck a few months after making the video, before Road Bike Party 2 was released. He is paralysed below the waist.
But he still manages to ride a bike

No surprise that he hurt himself. Great to see he's back doing what he loves doing though. Thanks for posting Mr Milk

He needs to be put on a good electric bike with drop down stabilising bars. A guy in WA has built his own bikes like this and rides around with a lot of freedom. Too bad our laws prohibit this style of transportation for disable people.

Are you talking about the university based crew called "dreamfit" [or something like that]?

They specialise in making unique designs of machinery and sports equipment to help disabled people get out and doing stuff.

-motorcycle for a paraplegic bloke was one of their first projects.

-landyachts - with the help of the Sandgropers landsailing club, and lots of other stuff

If I can find their website, I will chuck it on here.

On endless sphere a guy called Aussijester I think his name is builds his own electric choppers. He uses high powered RC gear and builds his bikes by hand which are works of art. He engineered some drop down stabilizing wheels when he pulls up to red lights. His bikes allow him to get around and have a bit of fun.
