James' New Set of Wheels

10/01/2012

James is a feature writer for UK newspaper 'The Telegraph'. In his a recent article, he describes the setbacks he's encountered while recovering from a brain injury. 

'The latest, and somewhat unexpected, step in the recovery process might look a little unusual, but it is, in effect, my new "car". Known to me as "the beast", and to my wife, Beverley, as "the eyesore", this pedal-powered three-wheeler isn't some eco-initiative, but a necessity brought about by no longer having a valid driving licence. So how did I end up here?'

To find out what happened, read the full article on the Telegraph website.

  • Love the wheels! Merely a sideways step to allow forward progress I would say, and it could always inspire another endurance adventure. Is there room for Mr. Fogle in the front?

  • Hi James, I can't think for one minute that this setback will stop you for long. I admire your passion and commitment. To occupy your thoughts for ten minutes, I would like you to look over my 400mph motorcycle project, on: www.angelicbulldog.o rg.uk
    If you like what you see, then you are welcome to come and meet us to see the project. Seeing as you are incapacitated, I can even pick you up! Best regards, Gabriel.

  • Hi James, here's me thinking everything is getting back to normal for you in your recovery and then I read your article in the Telegraph and realise this is not the case, hence why you are riding the Beast , just to get independent again! God, I wish for a million things to happen to you right now and in the right direction! Im no good at casting spells, but I would definitely cast one to make you one hundred percent better again! James, you are an inspiration to everyone around and I hope that this year , will bring you renewed strength to come back to where you belong! Take care Crackers! I love you loads, lots of love from EmmaxxxP.s Love your new wheels they are ace!

  • I'm shocked that you had a seizure, I watch your recovery with great interest as it gives me hope with my TBI. Have you pushed yourself too hard too soon? But if you are like me not trying is worse! Keep peddling x
