Video Intermission – Motorcycles for the Handicapped

This is a brief video, but it’s worth a watch. Catur Bambang is a mechanic who lost his legs in a work accident. Cars aren’t cheap in Indonesia, so he designed a motorcycle that can be ridden by people who are disabled.

Because I’m not fluent in Indonesian, it’s been tough to find more information on Catur or his bikes. But, this website includes pictures of his work, showing some of the impressive things he’s done like modifying the steering so that you can ride from the sidecar itself:
