Valerie Alexander’s young daughter Alaina has always wanted to ride a bike.
Alaina, who has special needs, used to watch from the door as her little sister rode along with training wheels.
“Honestly, I didn’t know how to teach her,” Valerie Alexander said.
But now, Alaina is learning.
She was one of more than 30 children with disabilities who climbed onto bicycles last week as part of Harford County’s Bike Camp at the Churchville Recreation Center, which was being held for the third year.
