Would you be able to make a full speed managing the bicycle with one hand, and without losing your balance? What for many is an impossible mission, for Thomas Bannister is part of his usual routine of outputs to the mounted to enjoy Mountain Bike.
In 2007 he suffered a spectacular accident that left his left arm paralyzed. However, the fact of not being able to use it does not prevent you from handling the bicycle with one hand with a skill greater than that of other bikers with both.
Based on perseverance and making a couple of modifications on his bicycle, Thomas Bannister demonstrates great balance of the bicycle using only his right arm. "The first time was not easy, but after six months I ended up getting used to it." Bannister bicycle has both brakes on the right handle. "With the index finger I press the front brake and with the heart the butt."
