A month or two ago BICYCLING magazine published a story about a one-legged bicycle messenger in New York City. They talked about him like he was a household name, though I’d never heard of him or seen him.
Last week, traveling in a cab, I saw him down near Wall St. It boggles my mind to see someone like that who elegantly adapted to a machine made for people with two legs. So inspiring; you think about the troubles that are causing you so much anxiety and realize how petty they are.
