Man Who Overcame Health Problems Rents Special Needs Bike for Free
After defying doctor's odds, David Poppei, manager at Oak Park's Greenline Wheels, rents out a specially-designed bike to those who need it for free.
David Poppei is the manager at Oak Park's Greenline Wheels bike shop. It's a career his doctor's certainly didn't foresee when he was a baby. Poppei was born without any muscle tone and his doctors said he would never walk.

Take a look at the video above for the full story.
