What was your first bike? A= nd why did you choose it? My first bike was a Suzuki Intruder 800 and = it was a beautiful red that shone brightly in the sun! I chose it bec= ause I always wanted a Red Sports Car and never, ever imagined that I would= ride a bike but was so inspired by the WITW booth at Bonnie Doon Mall- s o= I chose a beautiful Red bike instead!
What advice do you have for= anyone just starting out? As soon as possible take the Street Skills C= ourse from the Alberta Safety Council and then take the group riding Course= from the CMA. Incredible skill and knowledge will be gained from the= se courses. No man er…woman… is an isl= and and as soon as you can learn all the safety skills you can- the better.= As well, ride extremely safely and with confidence. Do n= ot compromise on safety in any way- and this includes attire! <= /p> Also, when in doubt- DON’T! = ; Don’t turn- don’t ride if you are not comfortable that = day- don’t be pressured! Don’t go bigger than you think y= ou can handle! . AND…. You are riding a bike- and know = that not everyone can do that ! Celebrate your accomplishments! Pat y= ourself on your back for your bravery and skill!
What was one of your most m= emorable moments/rides (fun, exciting, meaningful) and why? I think my most memorable ride was when a gr= oup of us Ladies all rode out to Donalda, AB and one of our members, = Karen, had trouble with her bike. It was so beautiful to see how ever= yone banded together and used all the resources we had to help a fallen bik= er, so to speak. We became a team, dedicated and devoted = to helping a sister biker become once again mobile to ride with= the team again! No one left her in her trouble and we all stayed unt= il her bike was fixed. It was an incredible display of friendship and= camaraderie!
What is one little known fa= ct about yourself that you would like to share with the other members? That I am on a mission to bring a program ca= lled HEROES from the IMPACT Society( Calgary) up her to Edmonton. I am determined to begin this program in Edm= onton to show kids that all off us have gifts and abilities and desires to = succed and that despite our adversities in life- we too can be a Hero in th= e world around us and that we, too, can be the cycle breakers! = I also am on a journey of creati= ng a program that will provide good quality shoes or boots for the ho= meless! All it will take is for each person to buy one pair of shoes = or boots for the homeless as this is their only means of transportation! Th= ink about it- no cars- no buses- just walking. This is my mission for the year!
