Crows Captain Nathan van Berlo has been dedicated to his recovery as he works to return from Achilles surgery and take to the field in 2014.

As a part of his rehabilitation, van Berlo has been kindly donated the use of a Trek bike courtesy of Bicycle Express.

Cycling has been an enjoyable part of the recovery process for the Crows skipper, who has taken part in several rides with the Redline Cycling Group in the past. Not just short rides – but long-distance treks at speeds that many professionals would envy as well as several testing solo rides through the Adelaide hills.

This bike has been hand made and painted in Crows colours in the Trek factory in Waterloo, Wisconsin and retails at $9,900.

Upon completion of VB’s recovery the bike will be auctioned with proceeds to the Crows Foundation, supporting SA children in need.

Thanks to Bicycle Express and Trek Bikes Australia.
