Childhood Quote by Liz Carr
“Like most kids, I learnt to ride a bike by falling off and getting back on again. I was 6 and not disabled at the time. Once I became a crip a couple of years later, my joints ceased up and cycling became less about childhood fun and more like a regime of physiotherapy to help me maintain my mobility.”
