"At 14, I got my first bike, but I hated cycling because I had to do four miles every day just to get to the bus stop for school. It was only when I was 45 that I really got into cycling. At 58, I was teaching cycling proficiency. The fact that only those children who had a bike and helmet could do the course upset me, so I began working with the Bikeability scheme to fund bikes and helmets and a trailer to transport them.
