About this episode

In Episode 2 of the Rideable Now Podcast, Martyn Ashton sits down with Tom Wheeler, a rider whose life changed in an instant after a racing crash left him with a devastating brachial plexus injury. But Tom didn’t stop at finding a way back onto the trails, he helped invent one.We talk about the crash, the brutal reality of nerve pain, the mental battle of adapting to a completely different life, and the dark humour that sometimes gets you through the worst of it. Tom also shares how, with support from Chris Porter and the team around him, he began developing the arm brace and release system that became Ride Adapt, technology that is now helping other riders overcome injuries and limb difference and get back on bikes.This is a conversation about resilience, problem-solving, and refusing to accept that the ride is over. Tom’s “Not Broken” mindset is powerful, honest, and seriously inspiring.Join Rideable Now - www.rideablenow.com Follow Rideable Now - @rideablenow Follow Tom & Ride Adapt - @tomnotbroken @rideadapt
