Shifting Into High Gear charts the course of Kyle Bryant's
transformation as he journeys on a recumbent tricycle across the
United States in the throes of Friedreich's ataxia, a
life-shortening and disabling disease. Full of humor and
reflection, it's a heroic journey of a man driven to reframe the
language of disease through action and service. As you travel with
Kyle during two cross-country bike rides through the American West,
Texas, the Southern States, and finally to the shores of the
Atlantic Ocean, the grueling rides become a compelling backdrop for
a series of lessons and ruminations which embrace an alternative
worldview and provide practical solutions to everyday problems. A
thrilling adventure story, yes, Shifting Into High Gear is also
ultimately about helping readers reinterpret the conditions of
their lives and learning how positive thinking, purposeful
connection, and deliberate actions can help anyone reach beyond
their limits and live a bolder and bigger life no matter what the
circumstance. Deeply passionate and compassionate, Kyle uses his
amazing story to teach readers how to replace the handicapping
language of "disability" with the agency to build a thriving and
hopeful life. He bravely exposes the shadow-side of using disabling
language and asks us to commit to a collective goal of
understanding disease and its emotional impact and embrace the
disabled population as equal individuals. In telling his story,
Kyle's desire is that instead of viewing disease as a deficit, we
would see it as another state of being—simply as a life which
strikes out on a different path.
