Our speaker was Rob Biggs from Saco Cycles. Rob has developed a great program to engage seniors, and acquired an electric bicycle to bring guests around. It's a fun way to keep the community engaged. Every trip needs a cyclist/tour guide, plus a cyclist out front to help navigate traffic. There was good discussion of how we can support the program, perhaps via connections from Rotaract and Apex. Rob says, "Saco Main Street, Age Friendly Saco and I are very excited about bringing this program to our seniors this summer. Our needs are physical volunteers to help coordinate rides and pedal the electric bike, as well as, financial support for volunteer high visibility t-shirts, safety vests and other ancillary equipment. The Michael Goulet foundation is generously going to provide helmets for our team and our clients to wear."
