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.
