Meet Tracy, Vito and Frankie

“My youngest son has autism and we are working on helping him develop his core muscle strength and balancing skills. We have equipment that attaches to the back of my husband’s bike, making into a sort of tandem bike for my son to ride with him. He also has his own bike with training wheels. We live by St. Charles Community College and Legacy Park and often ride on the Dardenne Greenway. However, my son loves bridges! So, we recently rode on the Centennial Greenway that connects to the Page Avenue bridge. He LOVED it! Every morning as we cross the bridge when I take him to school he calls it “his bridge” and asks when we can ride our bikes over it again. He has difficulty expressing himself and finding topics he is excited about helps encourage him to work on these skills. We often use the greenways/biking as a go-to subject!”
