When a BMX accident left Ryan Pinney paralyzed from the waist down, it slowed him down. Briefly. Nine years later, he was in the international spotlight as a Paralympics medal winner.

He figures that everyone has barriers in life, and it’s our choice if we let those challenges stop us from doing the things we love. Riding a bike led to his injury, but riding a bike also led to his greatest victory – to date.

Ryan loves competing and has always wanted to be the best in the world. The bike is his passion, but it’s support he’s received from the people in his life that has brought him to the pinnacle of success.

 Let Ryan inspire you the way he inspires all who cross his path.
