    Mary, was it you who had a bike given to you by an anonymous benefactor when you first started riding? That was a wonderful story!

    Yes, Pooks twas I and I STILL don't know who bought my bike. I don't know if they have ANY idea just how much it has changed my life in ways that NO ONE knows. I would love to be able to thank them in person and give them a HUGE HUG!! I don't know if I'd have my bike yet if I'd ended up having to wait to get it myself like I'd originally planned AND I KNOW I would not be where I am today.

    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    Mary, have you let the folks at the bike shop know that you'd love to thank the person? Maybe leave a small gift of some sort and maybe a note for the donor, just in case s/he doesn't want to be revealed!

    I try to pry the information out of Jimmy every chance I get. LOL. He's not budging. From the way he talks it was done over the phone nearly completely anonymously. Considering there is only a couple places that the person would have even KNOWN I put the bike in layaway, I post those places often thanking the anonymous person especially when I break a new barrier or hit a new milestone! I hope if nothing else, if the person(s) is still following, that they read just how much it means to me.
