STRIDE’s “I Can Ride” Bike Camp with iCan Shine

This program is designed to teach children with special needs how to ride a two-wheeled bike.

The unique five-day bike riding program is coordinated with  iCan Shine’s iCan Bike program (formerly known as Lose the Training Wheels). The organization provides a fleet of adaptive bikes designed to ensure the success of all riders. The philosophy and technology of the program has impressive evidence for success in youth with Autism and other youth with special needs or disabilities.

Bikers participate in 5  75-minute daily sessions Monday through Friday. Each biker is assigned to a trained volunteer who runs alongside them to ensure safety.
