Monique Baker doesn’t know how much time she has left with her 93-year-old mother Franca, but she does know that Tuesday was a very special day.
Workers with Superior Staff it Inc. launched the local cycling chapter last year and had been raising funds to purchase the bike, which came with a hefty $20,000 price tag. Baker first heard about Cycling Without Age last November when Superior Staff it Inc. was looking for members to volunteer on the committee.“I’m a huge advocate for fresh air and seniors,” Baker said. “Their mobility may not be that good, but this is a great way to get them outside and enjoy themselves. It’s a real pleasure to help them be able to do that and give back to the community.”
“I have chills,” Delavalle said. “This has been such a long time coming, and I’m really honoured to be part of this initiative. To be able to provide this first ride is such a full circle moment for me, and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this.”Familiar local spots like the boardwalk and hub trail are slated to be among the scenic destinations included in the program, which is set to fully open in the coming weeks.
