Today we have Sheryl Rooth as our guest! This is episode 14 of the Wheels and Beyond Podcast, this time recorded over on the second level of the Covent Garden Market, here in London, Ontario, Canada.
Sheryl's a lifelong resident of London, Canada, has been married to John for 35 years, and has two grown children. She's a Commissioner with the London Transit Commission (London's transit/bus commission) for the last ten years... and for the last five years, she’s been an avid cyclist! That means she gets around on two wheels for commuting, shopping, errands, doctor’s appointments, recreation, and just… everything. Pretty much!
Every time she hops on her bike, she explores new parts of the city that are straight-up inaccessible from the seat of a car. She’s found a new freedom and confidence from cycling that she didn’t know she had, especially because arthritis in her knee has recently reduced her ability to walk. But pedalling a bicycle is such a low-impact activity, that it’s given freedom back to her!
In this episode, we talk about a range of topics, including:
- How she’s seen more of London in the last 5 years bicycling than she saw in the previous 56 years!
- How bike lanes have changed the way she moves around the city
- How the Thames Valley Parkway has been an AMAZING experience,
- How ladies who are over 55 years of age should definitely try getting out on a bike!
- And much more!
So grab a drink, maybe some food, and listen in on our chat about active transportation :)
