When Greg was a kid, Luke Anderson was one of the cool teenagers who worked at his dad’s bike shop, Boyd Sports.
Greg looked up to him. Luke was a mountain biker, and a big part of the reason Greg got into mountain biking in the first place.
So getting to reconnect with Luke all these years later made this conversation especially meaningful.
In 2002, Luke was in a mountain biking crash that left him with a spinal cord injury and significant physical disabilities. He now uses a wheelchair and has spent more than two decades experiencing firsthand just how many barriers exist in a world that wasn’t built with accessibility in mind.
But what Luke has done with that experience is incredible.
He co-founded StopGap Foundation and has dedicated so much of his life to removing barriers and creating more accessible communities for everyone.
In this clip, Luke talks about reaching a point where he realized he had a choice: he could keep putting his energy into being frustrated by the barriers he encountered, or he could put that energy into doing something about them.
And he did.
There’s so much heart, humour, perspective and wisdom in Luke’s story. We’re incredibly grateful he trusted us to share it.
This is a story, and a conversation, we really hope you’ll make time for.
