Helping individuals with special needs gain confidence through bike
riding. How Does It Work? iCan Bike uses a fleet of adapted bicycles,
a specialized instructional program and trained staff to teach
individuals with disabilities to learn to ride a two-wheel bike
independently. Participants attend one 75-minute session each day for
five consecutive days where they learn to ride while accompanied and
encouraged by a volunteer. Gradually the riders discover the skill and
joy of riding a bike. Watch a video or four from previous camps to
get an idea of what we are all about: 2016 Camp Video 2015 Camp Video
