Individuals with Down syndrome learn to ride a bicycle!
Achieved in just 5 days by attending camp 75 minutes each day.

The iCan Bike program teaches riders to balance, pedal, steer, and take off on their own, many in five days or less – a feat parents say is miraculous.

Years of research, months of planning by Triangle Down Syndrome Network, and hours of volunteers ‘spotting’  lead to your loved one attaining confidence to last a lifetime!
