Autorenporträt
Sonia Sanghani, UK, will tell you quite frankly that she has been a rather boring non-cyclist amputee for over 10 years. As a fairly enthusiastic beginner, she decided she wanted to read a book about amputees who cycle. Sometimes, if you want something you have to make it and that is exactly what she did. Her book is a compilation of cycling experiences from 50 amputees of all backgrounds and cycling ability. Some contributors are beginners and others are Paralympians; all share a deep passion for cycling and can't wait to share that enjoyment with others. These stories are sourced from all over the globe.
