Buell Stunt Bikes

I trip over my own two feet, but I feel like I can do anything on my bike," said Gilman, exhausted after three stunt performances during a long, hot and humid day in the park. Behind him, the sighted pro cyclists raced at terrific speeds."The first time I got on my bike after I lost my sight, I fell over instantly. I was like a child again," said the former BMX rider. Gilman works at Joe's Bike Shop in Mount Washington, where he has taught himself the tricks and shortcuts he needs to repair bikes without vision.
