On this weeks program, Chris catches up with Cubby aka CB Mako about their families journey through the last few difficult years with long covid, related health issues, disabilities, changes to NDIS funding, calling for the bicycle industry to address mobility issues with three-wheel e-bikes and crowdfunding the families transport needs for a Nihola Rehab ecargobike for their daughter Christa.
