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."
