One little girl will be riding into the new year on a new bike courtesy of the Cycling Santas.
When the Greater Victoria Coffee Ride cycling group saw eight-year-old Ramsey Frombach riding her bike in conditions even they wouldnB次元官网网址檛 brave, the group was inspired.
B次元官网网址淲e are extremely impressed by her determination, skill and courage,B次元官网网址 said Joyce LaRose, who helped organize the donation.
So they gave themselves the nickname B次元官网网址楥ycling SantasB次元官网网址 and got to work acquiring a few elves that could bring Frombach a Christmas surprise.
B次元官网网址淲e noticed her Disney princess bike has a broken pedal and is getting a little small for her,B次元官网网址 LaRose said. B次元官网网址淐ontributions have been overwhelmingly generous from cyclists from Sidney to Victoria and Shane from Brentwood Cycle.B次元官网网址
The group got the blessing of her school principal and her mother to set up a meet-and-greet, where they presented her with the new bike.
B次元官网网址淭he group was impressed by her determination no matter the weather, and by the studentB次元官网网址檚 attention to road safety,B次元官网网址 said Steve Macgregor, FrombachB次元官网网址檚 principal. B次元官网网址淭hey reached out to see if they could help spruce up her bike a bit, and this grew into the group getting donations and help from a local bike shop when the story was shared.B次元官网网址
The group gifted the bike to Frombach Saturday (Dec. 17) with the help of the Brentwood Cycle at Marigold Cafe.
B次元官网网址淲e are all excited to make this a very special Christmas for this young girl who may someday ride the Tour de France,B次元官网网址 LaRose said.
