Paraplegic's Dream Bike Ride

For 10 years, Sri Lestari stayed at home after a motorcycle accident left her paralysed from the chest down, feeling ""unhappy, unproductive and really depressed".

Then she got a motorcycle modified to allow her to ride in her wheelchair and her "life changed".

Now she's taking to the road, riding 1,212km from Indonesian capital Jakarta to popular holiday destination Bali, "to show that people with disabilities in Indonesia can live free, independent, productive and happy lives".
