James - next on our Maindy Marvel Re-Cap
This is James
James has a truly inspirational back story, and is a reason you should always take the time to find out about people.
James used to be a competitive sailor in his youth before taking up cycling. He transitioned into Triathlons. James was always fit and healthy, but then his world got turned upsaide down with a diagnosis of MMN which is a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the muscles. This left James with limited mobility in one arm and so riding upright bike became impossible.
This would have been the end for most people, but James' competitive backgroud meant he wasn't going to give up . He came up with the idea of riding a recumbent bike. It take some getting used to, but it's safe to say, he's become a bit of an expert now.
He is a mulitple world record holder and a double British para champion
We love seeing James flying around the track and he follows in the tyre Marks of some cycling greats. He has taken what life has thrown at him and turned it into something so positive. He is a true inspiration and we highly reccommed a read of his blog
James - you are definitley a Maindy Marvel!
