Bike Riding Superstar!

From the PEAC newsletter...

"Eden E. is our super star of the week! After showing up on Monday with an adaptive tricycle to assessment and wowing the staff with her abilities to steer and her endurance on that bike, on Wednesday she was ready for a bigger and better adventure. After taking a few laps around the parking lot in her adaptive bike, she asked to ride the tandem bike. With the help of mom, we were able to get her out of her adaptive trike and onto the back of a family tandem. We took a few laps in the parking lot and then were off to ride the loop around the playground. Now, Eden has set her sites even higher and wants to try to ride the tricycle and take longer tandem rides into the community. Great Job, Eden! We are looking forward to see how many more gains you make this summer! "

Way to go Eden! We have trail-a-bike too--Elena LOVES it. I was worried she might fall off, but that's never happened. Can't wait to hear about Eden's next ride!

Wow, way to go Eden. I have been eyeing those bikes for Elizabeth but not sure if it would work for her but seeing how well Eden is doing has given me motivation to go find one for Elizabeth to try. We have the triton for Elizabeth from Target it is a really cool three wheeled roadster which we modified for her.

I have been following your blog from the start. I have Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy and recently started thinking about the Baclofen Pump as a treatment for spasticity. Maybe this could be a possible treatment for Eden or Holland. I am 19 years old and my spasticity is moderate.
