MEDELLIN, Colombia (AP) — Wilson Guzmán lost the use of his legs at age 17 when he was shot in the back while trying to recover a stolen bicycle in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia.

Two decades later, he glides though the city's streets using an electric hand-bike attached to the front of his wheelchair. He recently gave a tour of Medellin's parks to seven people who followed him down bike lanes and up steep hills on similar vehicles.
