After the Cape Town Cycle Tour, Sarah-Hope was adamant she wanted to ride a bike, not just a wheelchair. We solicited some help from the amazing BMC in Woodstock and they helped us to adapt a bike for her using pool noodles to extend the handlebars.

As time has gone on, Sarah-Hope doesn't ride much. Even with training wheels, she is quite vulnerable to falling on a regular bike. A trike could work in terms of providing extra stability, and she could definitely benefit from electric wheels to power her along if she tires. But the problem is that it then becomes a heavy bike and one that she can't manage easily by herself which reduces it as an experience of independence.
It will be an serious investment to make the right bike for her one day - so we're likely to wait until she's fully grown and then take it from there!
