Dan Sheret goes over the equipment he must pack when he leaves on his around the world self-supported bicycle tour — Ability Trek 2007 — in June.
Panniers. Satellite phone. Water filter. Freeze-dried meals. Below-knee prosthesis for the right leg.
You see, the North Carolina man underwent an amputation of his lower right leg about five years ago because an ankle injured in an accident would not heal correctly. That didn't stop him from bicycling cross-country in 2003, and it won't stop him from bicycling around the world beginning in June 2007.
