Wow, thanks for sharing your moving story. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons four years ago. I too have trouble walking and coordination at times. Those limitations along with the pandemic have ended my lifelong basketball career. Though I can still ride a bike I bought an Ice Adventure recumbent trike with an electric assist motor. I can't stay off it I ride without the motor or with it on the lowest setting as much as possible. This is a beautiful, expensive machine, one can obtain an recumbent trike for a lot less. If your balance challenges advance, as mine may, you might consider a trike. As well as the workout I love exploring and riding through nature. There's an beautiful, 25 mile long Greenbelt in Boise and lots of trails too. Good luck!

Noemi Arroyo Amazing! Congratulations on your progress.

I am glad that you continue to heal and have begun riding again. It sounds like a nasty incident. I was hit by a car walking to work (in a crosswalk) several years ago. Unfortunately, people take driving much too casually. Glad you're back!

sure. I am quite disappointed in Clark Construction, the City, and SDSU for the lack of communications regarding this. It's probably not a big deal to them, but to some, it is. I've let Andy Henshaw at the SDCBC and bikeSD know about the lack of communication, but haven't heard much. Ride on!
