My son Hudson Clarke (12years old)has been wanting to learn how to ride a bike for a few years now. We did have it as one of his goals pre covid. Hudson was legally blind (25% vision) from age 5 to age 9 then diagnosed with autism ADHD and low level ability. He had hearing problems and numerous surgeries to install grommet’s throughout his primary years. He has been learning to use all these sensors at once which can be overwhelming.  Hudson has been working with a allied health team at kawana sports hub the last two years. His balance and overall health has improved immensely. Hudson has been using the Exercise bikes at the gym. Over the years I have purchased bikes for Hudson which never suited his needs at the time so he would miss out. As a young teen in year 7 he is very aware he does not have bike riding skills like the other kids his age. (He says he can’t be friends these kids as he has no skills. ) Hudson refused to go on his  year 7 camp because one of the activities was mountain bike riding. Hudson wants to learn how to ride confidently so he can socialise and make friends and not miss out. Mentally and physically knowing how to confidently ride a bike would open up Hudson’s world socially with friends and family. Hudson’s GIVE EVERYTHING A GO attitude is diminishing as he feels everybody is looking at him everybody thinks he’s stupid and he can’t do things which makes it hard to get him out of the house or his room very hard. I myself was diagnose with breast cancer in March of this year it has been a long road. Now that our future looks brighter HUDSON has made a list of experiences and  places he would like to visit, having the skills and confidence to ride (and purchasing a bike that suits him) would be amazing.
