A man without arms is crossing Wyoming on a cross-country bicycle tour to raise money for a boy born without hands or forearms. Hector Picard lost his arms after being electrocuted in 1992 in Florida and is now a triathlete. He's biking from Miami to Washington to help pay for prosthetic arms for 1-year-old Jameson Davis of Spokane. He stopped in Laramie Tuesday, where he spoke to firefighters and was escorted by fire trucks as he left for Rawlins. He's biking to Jeffrey City today. He uses a bicycle which allows him to break with his right knee and steer using a cuff attached to the handlebars. Picard will also stop in Riverton, Grand Teton National Park before heading to Idaho Saturday.
