Dear Taylor,

Thank you for bringing up the conversation of riding bicycles on UBPN. You got Maia thinking about riding a bicycle again and she begged us to get her a new bicycle which we did last weekend. We also ordered these special wheels called fat wheels that stay on the ground as an extra set of wheels in the back to give the bike more stability.

Today, first thing in the morning, Maia and her dad installed the fatwheels and off she went! She rode it for four blocks came back jumping for joy and high fiving me!!

I just want to thank you so much for posting and emailing Maia, too. You're responsible for really changing her and our summer!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
big hugs from Maia's mom & dad,
Fran & Lou Litz

Hi Taylor - Maia's mom here... I put pictures of Maia on her new bicycle on her webpage. She's at camp now and then at orchestra later, but she wanted me to show you the pictures right away.

Click on this line and it will take you to the pictures.
