Nice cycling story on the BBC

There’s a nice, feel good, story on the BBC website about a Sudanese refugee taking up cycling in Glasgow I thought I’d share – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg3nz69gx6o

I tried to help a lady from a similar situation. Remember being equally as shocked to learn she wasn’t allowed to ride. Despite my and her best efforts she just couldn’t get the hang of it though.
