The duo were able to find a Kenyan based in Glasgow, who sent containers with items back to his homeland. <\/p>\n
He collected the bike to be included in his next shipment.<\/p>\n
Carrie added: “With the distance you do wonder if it’ll actually get there. <\/p>\n
“But out of the blue I got a message last weekend saying it had arrived on Valentine’s Day.”<\/p>\n
The bike will now be made suitable for racing, with upgraded components, and then tested on the track later this year.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Kenya are competing at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this summer.<\/p>\n
But the work the bike needs means it is unlikely to be heading back to Scotland.<\/p>\n
In the meantime it has been fittingly named Valentine by its new owners.<\/p>\n
Carrie said: “I tied a tartan ribbon around it before it was shipped away. <\/p>\n
“It was a wonderful feeling to see Alice smiling away with the bike next to her.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The duo were able to find a Kenyan based in Glasgow, who sent containers with items back to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-440966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
