Life Enrichment & Engagement: Choosing Enjoyment
Discussion: What brings us enjoyment?
Let's not be discouraged about limitations in our lives. What brings us joy? What is engaging and joyful for each one of us? Let's get the ideas flowing!
The Buddy System in Parkinson's: How Bicycling Can Add to Our Network Support
Through the City of FC Moves department’s Bike Buddy Program riders can get individualized attention that is sometimes needed to learn about everything from fix a flat to wayfinding the safest route. This presentation will cover the details of that program, and how to get involved. We will also talk about the different types of e-bikes, 3-wheel bikes, stationary bikes, and what to expect from them.
