It's been quite a ride for Jonathan Copsey: from rodeo cowboy to U.S. Marine to four-time national champion Paralympic cyclist

Jonathan Copsey wanted nothing to do with cycling. He didn't want to wear spandex and pedal around. He was an ultra runner. But when the Marine was finally coaxed onto a bike, he loved it. Now Copsey -- injured in an auto accident while in the Marine Corps -- has won four national championships and has his eyes on competing in the 2016 Paralaympics in Rio de Janeiro.
