A few years ago I took up cycling, which I love. On one of my morning rides down the Provo trail, I found myself riding next to a cyclist who pedaled with his hands instead of his feet. As we pedaled, conversations were created, and when I felt a little more comfortable, I asked this individual, “So why do you pedal with your hands instead of your feet?” Now I am sure most individuals would have known the answer and would have never asked the question I asked that morning. Me, I was a little slow. Politely the man replied, “Because I am paralyzed from the waist down.” Luckily, my next words were so much better than my question as I complimented him for his cycling ability and determination.
