Suzy Rides Again!!

Suzy and Brent found a company that custom makes 3-wheel bikes. For most Californians, the fact that Utah Trikes is located in Payson Utah could be a problem. Conveniently for Suzy, Spencer was getting married in the Salt Lake Temple a few days before Brandon was going into the MTC in Provo, so she was able to visit the shop for a test drive. They rigged the bike so that the steering mechanism is on left, so Suzy is able to steer and shift gears using her left hand.






(the gasp at the end of the video is because Suzy's right foot started to come loose.)

Suzy was surprised at how easy the bike was to ride and control. They thought a ride to the end of the cul-de-sac would wear Suzy out, but she thinks she could have gone farther. She was also quite proud that when her foot started to slip, she didn't panic.

Next time they are going to find a place where she can ride for about a mile.

She going to be riding in their ward's annual Ride Across California in no time!
