The Wild Ones Cycling Podcast

In this special extended episode of The Wild Ones Podcast we're joined by paracyclist Dan Richards, who lost his right arm and shoulder in a motorbike accident at age 23... and says it's the best thing that ever happened to him. His powerful story – from a young soldier to rebuilding his life from rock bottom – provides lessons in resilience and determination that we can all learn from, and we're so grateful to Dan for sharing it with us.You can follow Dan on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/theonearmedwonder/?hl=enIf you’d like us to send in a question, story, some good news, things you’d like us to discuss or anything else, email us at wildonespodcast@cademedia.co.ukThanks and see you next time.
