A Vancouver woman who made an inspirational recovery after being hit by a car is pleading for the return of her stolen recumbent bike.

Peggy Lalor, who was struck by a vehicle in Calgary in 2010, said her specialized bike was chained near the front door of her home in Champlain Heights when someone cut through the chain Wednesday morning and took off with it.

Her bike is her main mode of transportation. Without it, getting around day to day is even more of a challenge.

“I finally got to the point that I could get on the bike, go down to the Fraser River by myself and come back up,” said Lalor. “I’d ride for a couple of hours. It was pretty nice.

“They aren’t thinking of whose life they’re wrecking.”

Lalor said she has filed a police report.

On the back of the distinctive recumbent bike is a sticker with Lalor’s name on it. She is asking anyone who spots the bike to call police.
