- Self-Improvement
The third episode in the Ride It Out series hones in on parasport athlete Steve Bate, who - following a incurable condition that would eventually see him go blind - changed tact to focus on riding bikes. Since then he has become a gold medal winning paralympian and world champion, but equally finds solace by pushing both mind and body beyond what many would deem possible on a bike, particularly giving his degenerative eye condition.
Living with Retinitis Pigmentosis, Steve talks about initial denial, followed by embracing the challenge of his new life and how it has helped to shape his life for the better.
