[0:09] My Girl Scout Silver
[0:10] project is installing a Dero
Bike Fix-It station
[0:14] by the Park Pavilion at Powers
Lake Park.
[0:23] I chose the bike repair station
[0:26] because my dad
had a heart attack in November,
[0:30] and I heard the cardiologist
talking how he needed to do
[0:34] a low impact sport,
and biking was one of those.
[0:38] And then I remembered
how I broke my chain and didn't
[0:42] have anything to repair it with
on a ride once, and I was like,
[0:45] people need to be able
to fix their bike on the trails.
[0:49] So I talked to Reed at Parks
and Rec and asked
[0:55] if we could put in a bike
fix station
[0:59] at Powers Lake.
[1:07] Being a mom,
[1:08] hands down
and my kids are by far
[1:11] the greatest accomplishment
I've ever had in my entire life.
[1:14] And when they do things like
this that have tangible impact,
[1:18] it makes your heart just swell
with pride and excitement
[1:22] to see them be so excited
and energized and happy.
[1:26] But as a troop leader,
it's really exciting
[1:30] to see young women
learn how to just persevere.
[1:40] I have had
a few flats while out riding,
[1:42] and one of these
would have been a lot easier
[1:45] than tipping my bike
upside down.
[1:46] Trying to change
a flat tire for sure.
[1:48] So this is fantastic.
[1:49] The repair stand will benefit
riders around the community
[1:53] because
if they're going out riding,
[1:55] they have that
sense of security.
[1:56] Knowing that
if something should happen,
[1:59] they know that there is a repair
stand nearby.
[2:02] There's a QR code on it
that they can scan
[2:03] that's going to help them assist
with any repair they have.
[2:06] And they just have the comfort
of riding kind of worry free.
[2:14] I hope that people use it
when they are
[2:18] in their time of need, where
a chain breaks or bike tire pops
[2:23] and you just need a quick fix,
or even your tire goes flat.
[2:27] We have a pump on the station,
which is really helpful.
[2:31] She definitely had
a lot of hurdles thrown at her.
[2:34] Life throws curveballs.
[2:36] Her dad had a heart attack.
[2:38] A lot of people would have just
[2:40] called it quits at that point,
but instead it inspired her.
[2:43] She is quite an inspiration to,
I think, her own family,
[2:46] her peers, other Girl
Scouts and those around her.
