A Scots man was left almost paralysed from the shoulders down after a horror bike accident.
Niall Harris, 41, who lives in Leith, Edinburgh, suffered a high-level spinal cord injury after taking a tumble on his bike and landing on his head, in August 2020.
The outdoor enthusiast went over the handlebars of his bike at the Caddon Bank Mountain Biking Trail, in Innerleithen. Former climbing instructor Niall says he immediately knew things were bad when his feet flipped up into the air and he felt a strange sense of ‘disconnection’ in his body as he lay on the ground, surrounded by his friends.
