By bike, together. By bike in Milan or on Lake Lugano, in Val d’Ayas, at the foot of Monterosa, in Garfagnana. By bike often, as soon as you can, pedaling to fill those “voids” that make you ask what the boundaries are chasing your eyes and your mind. Piero Moroni and his son Tommywhich suffers from autism by bike have always shared roads, dirt roads, travel. «It was a way to grow together- explains Moroni, 60-year-old Milanese doctor- pedaling is my passion and I immediately tried to transmit it to Tommy since, very small, he started moving with the wheels and then, larger, with bigger wheels such as those of a wheelchair who supported him. Today he is 27 years old and is practically able to follow me everywhere with good autonomy ». It was not easy, but a daily conquest made in small stages, with small progress. “At the beginning we had to first overcome the problems of balance- explains Moroni- not only. Tommy had to learn to drive the bike, to curb, to start again. The early days we only pedaled in off -road vehicles, with the mountainbike on dirt roads without cars. Then we also tried to move on the roads obviously not very busy and here Tommy had to learn to recognize the signs, the road signs, the dangers … ». A long journey that of Piero Moroni with his son Tommy, an adventure that linked a father and son and who certainly had both growing up. But that now wants to become something more in giving some hope to those who have to deal with autism daily because, the only gesture of the pedaling, brings benefits not only to the motor skills and the coordination of the boys but favors the social interaction and their sense of independence. On April 12, Tommy and his father and many other cyclists who will join the ride organized by Cycling4Autism (the association created by Moroni) e Angathe National Association of Parents with Autism, will start from San Siro to reach Novara, the Enrico Micheli Autism Center and thus support the project «Ambaradaut», A house for guys who suffer from this disorder. «I don’t know how many we will be, but also because anyone who wants to participate- explains Moroni- we will pedal on secondary roads by passing by choosing where there are above all cycle paths. Arriving in the Micheli Center in Novara we will be welcomed by the music of the United drums, there will be a lunch and then the projects we support will be illustrated. But the sense of this pedaling is above all the message addressed to families who have autistic boys, the desire to make them know that there are opportunities in sport, in cycling that can be seized, that there is a way to make them concrete, to sweep away fears and fears ».
