Hi Alvin,  

For a couple of months I’ve been going on rides with a 75 year old man who is experiencing some dementia. He is a capable rider, but struggles with navigating. His wife had posted a request on NextDoor that I responded to and we’ve been riding once a week since. Unfortunately I am not able to continue riding with him because of my upcoming shoulder surgery. 

He lives in northwest Evanston, not far from centennial park. I think he might do well on moderate or casual rides, but would mainly need someone to help him get to and from the rides safely (so he doesn’t get lost). 

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, 

Adam Berkson
