Update:
8 months post surgery #2

🚙 Been coming to USC for x-rays and check-ups with my surgeon at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 5 months, 8 months.
And also every 2 months for bloodwork with my internal medicine doc for an infection monitoring post surgery #1.

🦿Fractures are almost healed, meniscus and soft tissue around the knee is still inflamed and stiff, ankle is tight. Still doing PT twice a week for mobility and strength training. 🏋️

🔊Sound On for knee extension clicks 😅

🚴‍♀️ I’ve come a long way since the accident, but still some ways to go to being 80-90% back to “normal”, but at least I’m cycling better than I’m walking/hopping right now which is a blessing for my mental health!

Onwards and upwards! 🥳 by @pedal_pat

The Art of Banksy
Thought-provoking, political, satirical and full of dark humour.

First ride back in 6 months post the accident and double surgery.

Not ready to clip in, foot still won’t turn and knee cant quite bend that far yet.
But man it feels good to back outside!! 🥳

Thanks ladies for riding with me before the “Ride for Alex” (Fk ICE) by @pedal_pat

Good riddance, 2025 🖕. Hello, 2026 🤗

2025 was 💩 for many of us 🌎🔥💔
For me, it was a true mix of highs and lows.

Highs 🚴🏽‍♀️🌱
• Completed a Climate Action Fellowship
• Grew my consultancy, Partners for Cause, and started building an inspiring climate/social impact community
• Motorbike safari trip in Kenya with the Maasai
• Cycled hundreds of miles on road & gravel adventures

Lows 🌧️🩼
• Professionally challenging without steady freelance work while transitioning industries, then disability leave
• A serious injury in August derailed the next 5 months → 2 surgeries, slow recovery & learning to walk/ride again
• Canceling trips to NYC Climate Week, Fireflies West and potentially Fireflies Patagonia tour

This year taught me patience, self-compassion, and a deeper respect for living with disability 💜
I’m so grateful for the love and support that carried me through 🙏
2025 was a year of growth, reassessment and reset on so many levels. I’m taking these lessons forward and stepping into a new chapter 🚀🐎

✨ Onward and upward — Happy New Year 🎉 by @pedal_pat

It’s around this time of year when @infinitelasia and I usually take off on our Xmas-NY trips on motorbikes. 🎄🏍️

So far we’ve done Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Los Angeles. 👊
Old school maps, dodgy roadside hotels, street food, backpack and winging it!

It’s been 5 tours and a few years, miss you friend - where to next? 🗺️

[I know, I’m still recovering from Kenya, but a girl can dream! 😅]

Health update: 4 months since the accident

🚶‍♀️I’m walking! Well just about, still using 1 crutch for balance and re-learning the correct gait without over using my hips. My quads and hamstrings are weak, and ankle is stiff.

🚴‍♀️ I’m cycling! On a stationary bike, only 15 minutes at a time for now. My knee can bend to 120 degrees, still need to get to about 145-150 to be closer to my normal flexibility (for yoga etc).

✋ My thumb is bothering me, perhaps an old cycling injury/fall that got aggravated from using crutches for 4 months. MRI shows chronic tear/detachment of UCL and injured RCL ligaments, but I have pain from the CMC joint the most. Logging what movements make it hurt and where - follow up with hand specialist in 2 weeks, he didn’t think surgery was likely. 🤞🏼

🏥 Since August, I’ve had 2 surgeries, slept 5 days in hospital, seen doctors, done blood work, x-rays, MRI, CT scan, had acupuncture or physical therapy more than 70 times (3-4x a week)! Thank goodness for travel and health insurance, and free disabled parking! ♿

⏳ It’s been a slow road to recovery, needing much patience and adaptability on how I redo my day-to-day activities. New lessons learned each day.

Looking forward to running, hiking, cycling again in 2026! by @pedal_pat

Just one of a few falls on the sandy death-trap roads! 🤸‍♂️🤪

Flew forward, rolled over, dusted myself off and got back on the bike.... until “the one” that I couldn’t move my leg. 👎🏼

Capturing the diversity and mayhem of Kenya’s back roads from the bike cam - lumps, bumps, ditches, sand, dust, anything and everything cutting you off! 👀😅
