Reitze Bok | Netherlands
Velocite team rider in the Netherlands. I am a below knee amputee. I cycle in the Dutch paralymic team. My focus is on the road race and time trial.
With my prosthetic leg, people look sometimes strange at me. But as soon as we ride together they know I'm not to mess with. Since I'm new here I'm looking forward to race with the Velocite products.
City:Heerhugowaard
Country: Netherlands
Discipline: Triathlon
My favorite riding is around Maastricht (Dutch Mountains), especially the finish of the Amstel Gold race is epic. In the surrounding of Heerhugowaard everything is flat. But with the wind always blowing it is tough.
