One leg go
croatiantimes.com
A one-legged bicycle rider has become a local hero in a Chinese city.
Zheng Zhicheng, 26, pedals around Yantai using just his left leg.
He was 15 when he lost his parents - and his right leg - in a road accident. He managed to find a job in a factory and now commutes to work each day on his bike.
Zheng said: "Riding a bike is much easier than walking or taking a bus for me. At first, I didn't think I would be able to do it, but I'm quite stubborn and after a bit of practice I got the hang of it. Now wherever I go people stop to wave."
