Synopsis

This page has two images on it: a cyclist with a prosthetic leg and a rider cycling with one leg. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Track cyclist with a prosthetic leg - The image on the left of the page shows a track cyclist seen from the side and facing right. The rider's head is in the top centre of the image. Only one of his eyes can be found. He is wearing a racing helmet that tapers to a point at the left to reduce wind resistance. His body curves left and then right and down to his prosthesis, which continues down the page to where it is attached to the pedal of the bike. His other leg has not been shown as it mostly hidden behind the cycle. The bike fills the bottom half of the image. There is a wheel at the left, then the chain, the chainwheel and pedal to the right. The front wheel is at the bottom right of the image. The bike's carbon fibre frame is in the area between the wheels. It is filled with a light texture.Rider cycling with one leg - This image is on the right of the page. It shows a rider and bike from the front. The rider's head is at the top of the image wearing a helmet with ventilation slots. His neck cannot be found as he is leaning forward. His shoulders are to either side with his arms leading down the page to his hands holding the bike's handlebars. Down from the rider's hand on the left is his leg, leading down to the pedal. Down from the hand on the right is the stump of the rider's other leg, which has been amputated at the thigh. Further down and left is the fork and front wheel of the bike. The tyre on the wheel is very narrow to reduce rolling resistance.
