The other below the knee is a carbon fiber/aluminum leg clipped in to his pedal on the right side of his bike. I followed him for a bit (not close enough to draft) but not losing any ground either but after a few minutes I just couldn't keep up the pace and so I let him go. He was not real smooth with the pedaling either which I assume is because of his lack of a calf muscle? I was trying to figure out the mechanics of it while trying to keep up with him.
The guy I rode with was very smooth and was wearing tights, I couldn't tell he had a prosthesis. Then there's Brett Wolfe, amputated at the hip and does 300 mile mountain bike races.
