Championing cycling as a lifelong mobility aid

Jean has been cycling for nearly seven decades, starting with a tricycle chosen for her as a child with cerebral palsy to develop her strength, conditioning and mobility. Today, she relies on her e-assist trike for everything from health appointments to shopping, reducing car use and staying connected to her community. 

Jean champions cycling as a mobility aid and a means of independence, sharing her experiences to inspire others. Despite challenges like inaccessible routes, Jean’s determination and advocacy highlight the transformative power of cycling for disabled individuals and beyond.
