The pilgrim I met with one leg, Luis, introduced me to a man in Santiago who also was on crutches. He had done the Camino Frances seven times on an adaptive bicycle. He was something of a permanent pilgrim. He traveled on a bicycle, but used his crutches to get around towns in the evening. They both said that the trickiest part of the adventure was slippery showers.

Sil,
If he wants it, he can do it!

In June and July 2000 Ad Hermans handbiked from Haarlem (the Netherlands) to Santiago in 5 weeks (= approx. 2550 km) together with is wife, her sister and brother in law on normal bikes.
After that they also went to Rome!
