Grade 1 student Cedar (back seat) got a special pick-up from school Fri. May 14th. His parents Justen and Gwen and sister Hazel cruised in on a 4-person bike rented from Valemount District Bicycle Co. Gwen said it was tons of funâ€and work, since the kids were too short to help. They relied on the help of friends who would hop on for a stint of pedalling to help them get to their destinations. As for the popsicles: “They just seemed fitting to add to the tour,” Gwen said. But they also ended up being payments. “We gave a popsicle to anyone who helped us pedal.” District Bicycle Co says they plan to have several 4-person bikes for rent on an ongoing basis and are currently charging $25/hour. /PHOTO DEBBIE IORNS
