WA Young Australian of the year

[mystery]

Flicking through todays paper I noticed that Darren Lomman won the WA young Australian of the year!



He is the man behind the bike you may have seen which has retractable legs which enables paraplegics to ride, check out his site at http://www.dreamfit.com.au/ - it's a top effort, well done mate!

Congradulations Mate thats fantastic,
there'd be nothing worse than being told you can never ride again
It is after all a great way of life / culture
