Casual Cycling

Tiffiney from Burbush - Rotokauri

Are there any competent recreational cyclists out there who may be retired and have some spare time to cycle with my son Jack.

We cycle together quite regularly around Rotokauri and surrounding rural districts - me on my hand cycle and him on a road or mountain bike. He’s pretty motivated but just needs a reminder on changing gears and a bit of a mentor. He’s 18 and has a small intellectual disability but is capable and fit on the bike and it would be great for him to have a different cycling buddy to help him keep fit and active. Contact me on tperry@perry.co.nz if your interested or leave me your details on here. Thanks
