iCan Shine is an organization that teaches individuals with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle using adapted bike equipment through it’s iCan Bike program. This five-day program requires riders to attend only one 75-minute session per day. iCan Shine uses customized adapted equipment, trained professionals and volunteers. With 75 minutes of instruction over five days, approximately 80% of riders learn to ride a conventional bicycle independently by the end of camp. The remaining 20% often make great progress towards that goal.
Burlington Parks and Recreation hosted iCan Bike in August 2024 and it was a great success. We are seeking the support of community volunteers to run iCan Bike again this spring! What will volunteers do?
- Be a "spotter" for the same rider for the same session(s) each of the 5 days and experience the thrill of giving the gift of riding a bike! Just 75 invigorating minutes per day... it just may be the most rewarding exercise experience you’ve ever had!\
- No prior experience needed - training is provided!
