Now that I have a socket that’s a bit lower at the back, of course I need to find out if I can get the pedals round with the crank back to normal.. then... if I can pedal a bike forwards and stop without falling off! Here’s my very first attempt!

First attempt cycling outside with a prosthetic leg

I am Melanie, dual citizen of England and New Zealand. I have been documenting my life on my blog (melaniemagowan.com) since arriving here in 2012, including health challenges through knee replacement and the recent loss of my left leg. I hope you enjoy learning about life as it is for me, and perhaps gain a little inspiration along the way
