Erick Oosthuizen

On 14 May, Erick Oosthuizen got on his bike and rode 20km. That doesn’t sound like much – but for Oosthuizen, it was the whole world. A year earlier, this accomplished cyclist and tandem-racing ninja was in hospital with a tube down his throat, and bits of metal sticking out of various parts of his body. He was on a ventilator because he couldn’t breathe on his own. The previous day he’d been on his motorbike, making his way to his office. The traffic light was green when he crossed the intersection… and then he woke up on the side of the road. With 14 fractures: he’d been hit by a car. When the 42-year-old father of three left hospital 89 days later, he left without part of his right leg, and with the terrible thought that he might never ride a bicycle again. Jonathan Ancer met him at a coffee shop two blocks away from the scene of the crash.
