Afternoon all, Today we have three stories of travelling and not travelling. First is Christian Haettich. Over the summer he cycled over the Dolomites, the Alps and the Pyrenees in 22 days. Only 10 people finished the amateur cycling event. But Christian has only one arm and one leg.

It’s all pushing and pulling with one leg and if he forgets he falls down. Cycling over the Pyrenees with one leg

Terri Young doesn’t travel so much as park and pose.

Terri is not a boy racer. She isn’t a boy and she doesn’t race, not on the road anyway. A judge has banned car cruise events in the Midlands after years of late night noise from subwoofers and screeching tyres. But while Terri and her hobbyist friends may plough their money into modifying their cars, they are adamant they are not part of that crowd. See the green car next to hers? That’s Becky Smith’s Subaru Impreza Sport. It’s got a big exhaust. That’s important for a Subaru, she says. "I don't want to annoy the neighbours though," she adds. "You just have to take your foot off the pedal when you turn into your cul-de-sac and do your best to keep it down." The world of cruisers, modders and boy racers

But to be eligible, you had to be younger than 16 when you entered the US. Julio crossed the US-Mexico border a few days after his 16th birthday. The immigrants left behind by Obama's executive action
