Alex Zanardi – Touch The Sky

This is a short, but very intimate portrait of Alex Zanardi, the former Formula 1 driver and winner of the American Champ Car Series. Alex was already a star, when he had his almost fatal accident at the Lausitzring in Germany. He lost his legs, but not his attitude. Alex Zanardi came back and did the impossible. He won races in the World Touring Car Championship, two gold medals at the Paralympics in London 2012 and just recently two hand bike world titles. It was a unique experience to spend a day with him at his house in Padova, talking about his life and joining him for a training session with his hand bike. His last words in the video describe him best. But see for yourself… Thanks to: stereoscreen.de

Going to Italy? Swing by the bicycle museum of Cosseria

Make sure to spend a few hours at the Museo della Bicicletta on your next trip to the North-West part of Italy. Cyclist since forever, Luciano Berruti is an unique character, a man out of time, fond of bicycles, and raced 18 editions of the world famous amateur race, Eroica di Gaiole in Chianti. The 205-kilometer cycling race winds its way through dirt and gravel roads in the hills of Tuscany. At rest stops along the course, they are fed a decidedly unathletic diet of prosciutto, salame and Chianti wine. Many ride one-speed antique bicycles, some of which are 100 years old. The retired construction worker Berruti usually ride his single-gear Peugeot bicycle from 1907. “She makes me feel young,” said the mustachioed rider in a patched-up sweater.  In 1999, Luciano opened a cycling museum in Cosseria, a village in the province of Savona, not far from Cairo Montenotte, on the north side of Apennines of Liguria.  Enjoy the video!
