Tricycling Poems

Hannah Dines

“I have been training on my [fine] trike 
for just under two years – [previously] 
I did a sport called race running [like
running] for a year. You run [vigourously]

using a running frame – like a zimmer
but it makes you go really fast, [speedy].
I got involved in that [just] a year [prior
to when] I started cycling, [I wasn’t needy

of] any other sport before [doing tricycling]
and I joined Red Star AC in the city Glasgow.
They made me the athlete, [very rolling],
that I am today. British Cycling, [you know], 

got the finished version of this committed 
athlete to work with – and have turned me 
to cycling!” Born with CP, it’s aquitted,
Hannah today balances tricycling and Uni. 

She was born April 14 1993 in Glasgow,
And took silver at the Worlds over in Italy
In the T2 time trial, and then in the fast flow
Of the road race she won a bronze beauty.

At the UCI Road Worlds in Switzerland, 
Hannah two times finished in fourth place, 
And in Rio de Janeiro in the Brazilian land,
Hannah came fifth behind Carol Cook, ace.
