...which gave her back the use of her legs! 😯
Not sure if we've done this yet, but I heard an interview with her on the wireless this morning and thought it was a pretty amazing story.
Monique Van der Vorst is a Paralympic silver medallist in hand cycling - but she won't be competing in the paralympics any longer because a nasty crash with another cyclist in training has left her able to walk!

Was done yesterday, but seemed to pass everyone by.
Truly amazing story though. Wonder what the details of leg use coming back really are.
incredible!
How long before the Daily Wail headlines, 'Disabled' cyclist uses legs?
Wow. Just plain and simple wow.
Cheesy shot on Alpe d'Huez - must be 1000s of us with a shot in that exact spot....
Nice rack...
Should be wearing a helmet.

Why? If she crashes again she'll probably gain a super power. 😀
Erm.. two bottle, tri bars and a rack (as elf pointed out)
Tri bars and a Rack..??

Amazing story though, really, good on her. I missed this first time round too.. 8)
