Date:
June 19-23, 2017
Project:
iCan Bike teaches individuals with Down syndrome and other differing abilitiesto ride a
standard two wheel bicycle and become life-long, independent riders. This achievement
creates a gateway of opportunity, helping them gain confidence and self-reliance in many
other aspects of their lives.

participants progress) alongside the rider, catching the rider if he or she begins to fall, and
offering encouragement. There are 5-sessions each day Monday-Friday and volunteer times
are available:
Session 1- 8:30am-9:45am;
