Paracycler is a golden boy

Paracycling world champion Colin Lynch dazzled the opposition with his golden prosthesis as he maintained his 100 per cent winning record in the Rudy Project National Time Trial Series. 

Following his latest victory, held around Lake Bassenthwaite in Cumbria, Colin was resplendent in his new PACE Rehabilitation provided golden prosthesis. His hat trick of wins means that he now has a commanding lead in the disability category of the series.

Colin’s prosthesis certainly stands out from the crowd, as he explains: “I did get ribbed about it at first, but the gold reminds me of what I am hoping to win at the games in September.” 

“I really appreciate the support that the team at PACE have given me. The prosthesis they’ve provided is incredible and the gold chrome finish makes it even more eye catching.”

Scott Richardson, PACE Rehabilitation’s business development manager, says: “Since we started supporting Colin in 2010 he has developed his own Midas touch.  Earlier this year, in Los Angeles, he won his second world champion title in  six months. So, in recognition of this and the forthcoming Paralympics, we’ve introduced some bling to Colin’s device.”

Colin is now taking a break from the Rudy Project Series to concentrate on his international duties and races. He does however plan to return for the final events in September, to try to secure overall victory and cap a golden season of competition.
