Duane
Wagner, a retired United States Marine, lost both of
his legs in Vietnam to a hand grenade, but he still
manages to cycle 15,000 miles a year. With no "special
equipment" Duane is the only known double leg amputee
in the world competing against able-bodied cyclists.
Along with cycling, Duane sails, scuba dives, skydives
and offers his time as a counselor for Fikes Brace and
Limb. "I don't consider myself disabled,"
Wagner says. "It's just an inconvenience. Every
race I've entered, I've won."
