Martyn Ashton

You've probably seen the amazing Road Bike Party 2 by now.

This article is well worth a read.  I feel so sorry for Ashton but his attitude following his accident is incredible.  One of the best bike riders ever.

"The aftermath of his accident has undoubtedly changed his life by leaving him a paraplegic and a wheelchair user, but Ashton is not one to languish in self-pity, instead preferring perspective, pragmatism, and positivity. “I was immediately just so grateful,” he explains of his reaction to the accident; “I just felt lucky, you know? ‘Fuck, I nearly killed myself’. But I hadn’t, so I felt really chuffed to be honest.”
