The first time must have been scary.
Balance must be an issue. How many times has he fallen off?

Don't know. But it shows what can be done.

Jody Cundy doesn't use his carbon right lower leg on the road, it's just track and designed for that alone. On road he has a pivoted prosthetic, that looks pretty close to a normal leg, I had to do a double take when he passed me on a commute. These guys are seriously fit. I knew he was a track rider with the build.

Great photo of someone with lots of determination! I know someone I'm going to show that to, they have a can-do attitude to life.

Seriously impressive stuff!
I don't know much about the world of para-cycling (or the track in general I suppose) so apologies if my question appears ignorant or rude: since Mendez has less bike than his opponent, are weights added to make them the same? Or does it not really matter given the obstacles he's already overcome?

I saw them all at Brands Hatch during the Paralympics in 2012, and it indeed was impressive to watch, although Its amazing just how quickly you get used to it and you get the stage where you stop noticing after a while (that said, I do have a 3 legged dog, so am used to it).

I'm not sure but there probably is an element of that going on, yes.
