Merci Marie Dominique. J'ai beau avoir la motivation et la détermination mais si je n'avais pas la Santé, je serais incapable de rouler à ce rythme. Avoir la santé, c'est un privilège, un cadeau de la Vie. Je me sens "vivant" quand je suis sur mes vélos. Quoi de mieux et de plus grand?

It's always so encouraging to hear other people getting outside and riding their bike. The weather here is moderate enough that we can ride almost all year round. We should plan a group ride here soon to explore some new trails!

Félicitations. Avec le nombre de vélos, de vélos avec assistance électrique, de trottinettes électriques, de planches à roulettes électriques, et d'autres modes de transport, la présence de patrouilleurs à vélo est essentielle pour veiller à la sécurité de toutes et tous.
