Finding Freedom on Two Wheels

How do you start over when your body tells you it's time to slow down?

After decades of chronic knee pain, multiple surgeries, and believing her biggest adventures were behind her, Anita Elder took a chance on something she'd never imagined—an electric bicycle.

What began as cautious rides close to home soon became an extraordinary journey of healing, friendship, and discovery. From overcoming fear after a devastating crash to riding 209 miles from Seattle to Portland, speaking before hundreds of cycling advocates, and pedaling through Canada, Europe, and beyond, Anita discovered that adventure has no age limit.

Filled with humor, honesty, and unforgettable characters, Finding Freedom on Two Wheels is about far more than bicycles. It's the story of reclaiming health after years of physical limitations, rebuilding confidence one mile at a time, and discovering that retirement can be the beginning of life's greatest adventures—not the end of them.

Whether she's sleeping in the back of her car before a bike event, laughing through unexpected mishaps, recovering from spectacular crashes, or cycling across Europe, Anita reminds us that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's choosing to keep moving forward.
