Lake Washington North Loop - with Amputee Outdoors

My insurance company is still denying the approval to pay for a new prosthetic leg so the biking videos continue. In this biking adventure, I start at the South Bellevue Transit station, go west over the I-90 floating bridge, north along Lake Washington going past two parks, make my way through the Montlake neighborhood, east across the world's longest floating bridge, the Evergreen Floating bridge, and then south again to Bellevue and finally returning to the starting point for a total of 22 miles biked.
This inspirational ride is for anyone who has ever been told they can't. Let's break down barriers and redefine what it means to push our limits. Share this story, like, and subscribe for more prosthetic-powered adventures!

Wishing you a wonderful day 👍

[@amputeeoutdoors]

Thank you! You too!

[@crimesciencestories]

Beautiful scenery!

[@amputeeoutdoors]

One of the many reasons I love this state is the scenery, when we can see it. 😆

[@CinkSVideo]

Nice ride!
Proof of yet one more use for duct tape. Hopefully you have a new socket soon.
I wondered if two water bottles would be enough. 😊

[@amputeeoutdoors]

I was expecting to take a break along the loop and buy some Gatorade, but I think next time I'll plan for for bottles.

[@EatCarbs]

I've been enjoying the ride videos. Any good news on the new leg?
Thanks for the video

[@amputeeoutdoors]

I have a third appointment with my doctor on the 31st where I'll also have my leg guy and his insurance admin in the meeting to quantify the justification for a new leg and socket. Every time I've had to get a new leg the insurance company pushes back more and more. They really don't like paying out money.

[@EatCarbs]

Insurance companies are the worst!

[@tony-rz2np]

What foot are you using? Thanks

[@amputeeoutdoors]

I have the Ossur Cheetah Xplorer. It's the walking version of the Cheetah the paralympic use. Lots of spring to it, very lightweight, long lasting (I got this one in 2017 and the lamination on the foot is only now breaking down) which is evident from the hikes that I do where I basically abuse the hell out of the foot. :)
