It's been sent from Scotland with love to Alice.
In fact, the bike even had a little tartan ribbon tied to it for good luck.
And so Alice told me she decided to call the bike Valentine.
Actually, no tandem bikes in Kenya.
So when we started this cycling for people with disabilities and people with eye problems, we didn't have enough bikes.
Only one gentleman who had the bike.
I was at the Ebo cycling, so I decided to quit, to join the para cycling because there was no ladies for tandem cycling.
There were no bikes at that moment, so I started searching where I can get bikes.
We were waiting for it, for sure.
This year we have a para-track race in Nigeria and we are hoping to use it because now we have the bike, we want to share it.
Yeah, I'll definitely feel proud.
I'm going to keep in touch with Alice and I want to follow everything that she's doing.
I'm absolutely passionate about getting women involved in sport.
And so Alice is going to send me pictures and I'm going to keep in touch with her team.
Yeah, we are hoping that Nigeria will bring good results.
Unfortunately, in Africa, we are only having two teams for tandem bikes.
That is Nigeria and Kenya.
So we are hoping as well here in Kenya to bring up more ladies so that we can have more teams there.
Yes, absolutely.
And this story through the BBC has already done a lot of good because I was contacted by another person in Edinburgh offering a tandem bike to Alice.
