Carol Laniak—a resident at the St. John’s Green House Homes in Penfield—rode on a motorcycle for the first time—at age 82.
It happened on September 19. The idea started when her son Mark rode into town from Tucson a couple of months ago. During his visits with Mom, she kept asking to go for a ride on his bike. Knowing that he was headed back to Arizona soon, Carol made Mark commit to a date.
So on Thursday, Mark and Carol rode around the block of their Fellows Road neighborhood. Carol enjoyed it so much, she wanted to go for a second lap.
Watch as Carol’s ride was highlighted by 13WHAM as a recent “Bright Spot” by clicking here.
Afterwards, Carol said about her inaugural ride: “everyone should try it at least once.”
