A Masterton woman has had her prayers for a new bicycle answered after hers was stolen - taking away her only form of transport.
Beneficiary Jenni Fowler was at St Patrick's Church, near The Warehouse, earlier this month when her grey and black women's rally bike and matching helmet were stolen.
She said the bike had become her lifeline and allowed her to do things such as grocery shopping.
On Sunday she was given a new, and even better, bicycle by Masterton man Steve Smylie.
He had seen the article in the Times-Age and thought: "That's been sitting there for a while doing nothing, and I probably won't use it again".
