Nice video, lovely bike ride. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a fantastic day 😊

[@amputeeoutdoors]

Thanks, I'll have another bike ride published sometime next week.

[@DCOutdoors]

Man. The medical system is cruel. I liked your ride, though. Good on you for getting out and I liked the way you filmed it. Some cool angles. Liked what you did! It's fun to experiment. I always get inspiration from the other creators that I watch for new angles, etc of filming. Watched the ⚫️ til the end... 🎶 😊

[@amputeeoutdoors]

Thanks. I stopped a lot and spent time just messing around with the camera, gripper tripod and extension stick. The ride took a longer but I was out to have fun and was in no hurry. :)

I loved the area. Lived on the lake for years. Now I am bilateral below knee. I also are having fun trying to get ankles. I have solid ankles that wouldn't flex on a bike. Are there any trick to make bike pedals that would work?

[@amputeeoutdoors]

I have the Ossur Cheetah Xplorer and the ankle is locked. It does have some flex when I'm walking but biking it's locked.

[@EatCarbs]

I thought the way you filmed the video was great brother.
Really sucks about our medical system.. bunch of crooks. Thanks for the video

[@amputeeoutdoors]

Thanks! I'm not into biking fast and hard, so by taking time to re-arrange the camera location on my bike I got to relax and enjoy the locations more. I've had good insurance and crap insurance over the years. This one is in the crap category. :(

[@EatCarbs]

Hey... it's not a race
