Adaptive cycling spins into action

For the second season, we’re ready to enrich the lives of Douglas, Arapahoe, and Elbert County residents in the intellectual/developmental disability (IDD) community with our adaptive bike program! 

Our community-based program provides a fun and safe way to connect individuals who are 18 and older to recreational adaptive biking. We provide adaptive bikes and safety gear, and participants provide enthusiasm to form meaningful friendships and learn or improve their biking skills. Our program breaks barriers to exploring the outdoors and supports people with disabilities to:  

• Increase mobility.  

• Enjoy the benefits of improved health, both physical and mental.  

• Build social connections.  

• Work on bike and safety skills. 

Last year, with the leadership and support of wonderful staff and volunteers, participants shared the increased exercise and rode for longer and further than ever before—two participants even purchased their own adaptive bikes! 

The program will run from June through September at Parker Fieldhouse at 18700 Plaza Dr., Parker, CO 80134. Medicaid waivers and private pay will be accepted. Interested? Please complete a short interest form or contact Caitlin Sherry.
