Stephan van Niekerk – In 2009 Stephan sustained life changing injuries after stepping on an explosive device while serving with the Rifles regiment. The explosion resulted in the loss of both legs, one above and one below the knee, some fingers and other parts. Having been a keen cyclist for most of his life, Stephan took to cycling again post injury having completed routes such as the King Alfreds Cycleway and the Battlefield Bike Ride. For a bit of fun, he also hurls himself downhill on a mountain bike.
