Not exactly paying it forward, but close. Department of Residence Facilities at UVic donated 32 abandoned bikes to Spokes. From students to students. We are hard at work this time of year preparing for a great rush later this spring. Hopefully we will be able to loan out about 70 bikes in May.

Still smiling despite receiving a $32 fine for not wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle. Ouch!

This is a great opportunity for those of us who are interested in learning (more) about road riding and identify as female. The coaches are super knowledgeable and suppertive. Trust me on this, they have shared their insights and supported me for many years now.
