The 37-year-old athlete says she thought her trip to Rio was in doubt after she discovered the theft on Friday.
She says the manufacturer that built her bikes has offered to replace them, and other businesses and individuals have stepped forward to help her.
Croteau plans to leave for Rio on Sept. 5, where she’ll compete in her first paralympics.
She was named to the Canadian team for the 2012 games in London but was unable to compete due to injury.
