Let's get Bernie back cycling!

Donation protected
I read an article in the Echo the other day that broke my heart. A 93-year-old man had his electric bike stolen, his only means of transport. One person's selfish decision has taken another's independence and means of getting out in the world every day and interacting with others.

I think sometimes we feel so helpless given the world's state and are not sure how we can make an impact. I thought about how much I love riding my bike how much joy it gives me every day and how much I'd still love to be riding a bike at 93. I wanted to help. So, I contacted a good friend in the bike industry and the Bournemouth Daily Echo to reach out to Bernie's daughter Paula and here we are.

With the help of two local businesses Cannondale Bikes (CSG) and Primera Bike Shop we have been able to source a new electric bike for Bernie. I'm asking for donations to help cover the cost of getting this Granddad back pedalling.

Any and all donations are welcome. For the sake of transparency, I'd like to ensure that we cover the cost of the bike, and a new rack and a descent lock to ensure this doesn't happen again. If we are able to reach and even exceed the amount required any additional funds would be split between Sustrans a cycling and walking charity and Dementia UK.
