Adaptive bikes provide an opportunity for recreation, fitness, therapy, mobility and most importantly, self-esteem for kids with special needs such as Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Muscular Dystrophy, Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, and the visually impaired.  Join us wont you, in giving the gift of cycling freedom!
