What we do...
Riders attend one 75 minutes session per day for five consecutive days where they learn to ride while accompanied and encouraged by spotters. Over the course of the week, the bikes are adjusted to help riders learn to balance as they gradually discover the skill and joy of riding.
Rider benefits...
- Increased self-esteem and confidence
- Improved physical fitness, mental health, and overall quality of life
- Independent transportation
- Inclusion opportunities
