Fox local September 4, 2024 at 8:01 PM ENUMCLAW, Wash. - The bicycle is a perfect synthesis between the human body and machine — they need each other to go faster. Travis Gaertner and his bike go faster than almost everyone in the world. "You just try to make the bike as an extension of your body. It feels like you’re going out there and your body is complete," said Gaertner. "It’s just a feeling of freedom." Gaertner has his eyes on the prize: a medal at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
