Means western world is US, UK and Norway...

Dag Otto used to be a special forces soldier. He wrecked his leg in a parachute accident and used cycling to regain his fitness. Don't think he had cycled much until his mid 20's. He also walked/limped about 60 km's on his crutches/cast, just for the hell of it.
