Discovering I could drive without the use of my legs was nothing short of a revelation...my legs sat unresponsive in the footwell.
From that first drive onwards, I realized I would need to somehow find alternative ways to navigate my surroundings...there is only so far a wheelchair can go.
Driving represented freedom and gave me agency at a time when my fate felt desperately uncertain...I didn't feel so paralyzed in the driver's seat, and to those around me, I didn't look it, either.
My whole world as a Disabled driver changed once again when I discovered the Can-Am Ryker...it is inherently stable enough to ride using your legs without core strength or balance.
