Cycling together was their couple-thing. He used to cycle to her house when they dated. It was those moments that they enjoyed the most with each other. They even carried their kids on baskets on the front. Later in life, Glad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Glad’s condition worsened despite Bill’s efforts. And then one day, her mobility was too limited to cycle.

Bill could not bear to let her miss out on cycling. So he built a bike chair cycle to take her on rides with him. A bike chair cycle is like a tricycle with a chair in the front. The chair portion in a bike chair cycle has two heels. Behind a bike chair cycle, there is a handle and the third wheel.

Their pictures and videos on their bike have become a viral sensation online. According to Bill, even if he has to do absolutely everything from her from morning till night, he does not mind it. He does not consider it a burden. He considers it a great privilege to be able to care for a woman whom he loves and who loved him so much during their time.
