And I'm really proud," Tim explained.Last April, Claude was riding an electric bike a mile away from his home when he found himself lying on the ground.He had to learn how to walk again after injuring his right leg so badly he required multiple surgeries after revealing doctors initially thought they may have to amputate his leg.Recalling the incident, the 72-year-old businessman said: “I was just pottering along, I must have been doing no more.
