iCan Bike Camp

iCan Bike empowers individuals with disabilities to gain confidence and independence by learning to ride a two-wheel bicycle. Using adapted bikes, a specialized instructional program, and dedicated staff, we provide a supportive and fun environment where riders develop the skills they need to succeed.

This event has concluded.

This event is in person

Riders participate in one 75-minute session per day for five consecutive days, learning to ride with the support and encouragement of trained spotters. Throughout the week, the bikes are gradually adjusted to help riders develop balance and confidence, allowing them to experience the freedom and joy of riding independently.

To register for camp, participants must meet the following criteria:

  • Be at least 8 years old by the start of camp
  • Commit to attending all five days of camp
  • Have a minimum inseam of 20 inches
  • Weigh less than 220 pounds
  • Be able to walk without assistive devices
  • Be able to side-step in both directions
  • Be able and willing to wear a properly fitted helmet

This structured and supportive program provides an unforgettable experience, helping riders achieve a milestone they’ll cherish for a lifetime!

They are surrounded by bubbles, with a vibrant backdrop of blue curtains and a neon sign that reads 'Black & Blue Ball' glowing in the background. Everyone is smiling and having a great time in a lively, fun atmosphere."
