As long as we’ve known this woman—our precious sister-in-law—she's cherished the natural world. She loves outdoor sports and activities, from exploring tide pools to biking, since she relishes being close to nature! Today she sent us a photo of her newest ride, a trike given to her by some friends who were moving away from her community in Fort Myers, Florida.
As she'd told us earlier (https://bikemonterey.org/voices-of-people-who-bike-part-2-encouragement-and-barriers.html) "Inside the all-ages gated community where we live, a lot of people bicycle, including those who are seniors. Many bike to get around, and many home rentals include a bicycle….The trikes are really popular here, and most have baskets on them for carrying things. Many have cupholders and cell phone holders; they have them all decked out! Many people do put flags on their trikes to be more visible. Often you’ll see people with their dog riding with them too.”
