Alex riding his new bike!

Alex received a new adaptive tricycle this week...an AmTryke Proseries 1512, to be exact. Two generous donors helped us with the expense. Alex has been very excited to ride it every day, no matter what the weather is (spring having decided to not show up this year, apparently). And as you can hear in the video, it is "excellent" physical therapy for him. (We were lucky to have his school physical therapist on hand for the inaugural ride, along with Julie, one of his personal care attendants.) Plus, with the help of his awesome personal care attendants, he has been taking it all over the neighborhood, which is tremendously empowering for him. Here's a video of the inaugural ride:
