About the Author Sonia Sanghani 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 go out and get it and that is exactly what she did . A lot of emails , phone calls , and typing later , here is the result : a cycling book for amputees . It is a compilation of cycling experiences from around 50 amputees of all backgrounds at various stages of their cycling ability . Some are absolute 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 .
