Alan Dickson worked as an industrial mechanic for the past 35 years. Two years ago, he retired and found that he had a lot of spare time. One day, he was cleaning out the garden shed and found a few bikes he wanted to make use of and that is how he found Cyclo Nord-Sud. Ever since, he has been volunteering at the organization. “We are doing something I believe is important for people less fortunate than most of North Americans.’’
