this is andyandy lost his leg in iraq
a better photographer would have taken this shot from the other sidenot a bad shot
but not a good shot of the prosthetic limb
I guess there is some poignancy to this
most people just see a man on the bike
most people more than likely do not notice the additional carbon fiber and titanium
people could learn a great deal from andywhen I say people... I mean me
I could do to learn a great deal from andy
andy is not bitterandy is not angry
andy does not have a chip on his shoulder
andy does not appear to have any regrets
ask andy and andy will tell you"they did not kill me"
I do not know andyit was a pleasure meeting him
he is just a man... maybe just a boy
a boy of 25... no... a man at 25
a young man with a fine appreciation of life
andy was riding that bike fixed with a time cleat attached to the artificial limb
in his pack was another artificial limb... more than likely a walking leg
not sure if he has a different apparatus for running and walking
no helmet
