Knowing how to ride a bike allows us to experience freedom. Freedom to go where we want, and make our own decisions. However, not everyone has that freedom due to different ability levels and life circumstances. Riding a bike helps teach independence, allowing the individuals to rely less on others to get places. Also learning to ride will allow the individuals another opportunity to interact with their neighborhood and school friends.
Who We Are |
We are a small team of volunteers and non-profit organizations with a shared passion for providing opportunities to those who want to learn to ride a bike. Our goal as a team is to help instill confidence in the individuals to learn to ride a bike by the end of the week without training wheels or any other assistance.

What It Is |
"Bike for Life" is a week long day camp for individuals who want to learn to ride a bike. Volunteers and specially designed bikes are the key components to the program. The bikes are specially designed and modified to help support any level of experience, physical disability and intellectual or developmental disability. There are three sessions each day where volunteers will partner with individuals who experience disability to help them learn to balance, pedal, steer and ultimately ride a bike independently.
