Armless Punjab Cyclist Dreams Of Paralympic Gold

AN INDIAN cyclist born without full arms or hands has set his sights on Paralympic glory.

Jagwinder Singh, 24, is a competitive cyclist - and an art teacher. The cycling enthusiast was inspired to buy his own bike after watching the 2012 Olympics on television and started peddling in his native town of Patran in Punjab.

And much to his family's surprise, he started cycling to nearby Patiala – a distance of 25 km – three times a week.
