Vera Dorward: The pioneer from bike to trike
This episode of Bike Culture features an interview Vera Dorward, who at 81 years of age can be seen frequently riding her E-tricycle around town. Born and raised in Holland, bikes have been always been a part of her life.
Sitting on Vera's back deck in Golden with her dog Peppy, we have a conversation about bikes and life. Vera started biking from when she was 5 years old in Holland and then when she came to Canada via Montreal and then Vancouver in 1967 (the year of my birth), she surprised the locals by biking back and forth to work every day. That's hard to imagine when you look at Vancouver now. Later we talk about her transition to riding on three wheels in Golden and her influence on others to ride one themselves. Vera really enjoys biking for the pleasure of riding, the day-to-day practicality and the low carbon footprint. Heck, we even talk about home cooking! In this interview you will be inspired by Vera’s love for life and the three-wheeler within it.
This interview was a huge learning curve for my use of the Blue Yeti microphone. I will apologize for the glitches that you will hear in this interview. It is a great interview and I am learning, thank you for your patience.
Golden is an incredible town situated between the Purcells and the Rocky Mountains in the East Kootenays of British Columbia. Bike Culture is alive and well from strider bikes, to pedal bikes, to three wheelers and to adaptive bikes.
