"Every time I get on my bike, I forget everything else."

When Canada's Marie-Claude Molnar was hit by a lorry doing over 100 km per hour her dream of representing Canada on the international stage seemed over. In fact she was lucky to escape with her life. Marie-Claude not only recovered, but realised her dream and went on to win Paracycling gold at London 2012. What followed was a glittering career which only ended in 2022 and only after multiple world titles.

Now Marie-Claude is turning her energy to another of her passions. The environment. She tells us about her new career, being an EcoAthletes and why everyone should think about getting on their bike!
