A conversation with Jeremy McGhee, adaptive bike ride, surfer and skier extraordinaire. Since a car hit Jeremy on his motorbike and took away the use of his legs, 16 years ago, he has made it his life's mission to get off the pavement. Nothing gets this guy down. “If it’s money, figure it out. If it’s time, figure it out. You get less of it every day, so do it now”
Jeremy McGee is a runner. He likes to imagine running barefoot through the jungle. But since a 2001 motorcycle crash left him paralyzed, McGhee has ridden a three-wheeled, hand-cranked mountain bike. “This bike is how I run now,” he says.
BBC Sports Hour interviews Jeremy about The UNPavement.
“…I didn’t want it to dictate my decisions. I didn’t want it to run my life. I didn’t want to go down that spiral…”
