in a wheelchair since she was four, got an early birthday present from her
parents on Friday of last week. The gift is a Stoat cycle which can be
operated using the hands on the same principle that a regular bicycle
uses the feet. The bike was custom built for Sandra at Sloat's Custom
Welding and Fabricating, in Woodham. Her parents had read of the store
and one day while going past it Sandra's father decided to order a bike.
