“Thanks to iCan Bike our daughter, who prior to camp refused to try riding without training wheels, is riding a bike. We struggled for months to get her to try it. Day 1 of camp, she was on an adaptive bike riding without training wheels! It felt like a miracle! The patience they have and their ability to inspire is incredible. Our daughter is now fully enjoying her summer now that she’s riding her bike – finally! We are so grateful for this camp. Heaven-sent.”

"I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for taking the initiative to have a camp like this. My son, Jackson participated in your camp. After years of my son taking occupational therapy no one was able to teach him to ride a bike. I was frustrated, disappointed and felt that maybe it might not happen for him. Then I saw the advertisement for your bike camp and I felt hope coming back that maybe this dream was possible for him too. He came the first day believing that he couldn't do it, after all he had ridden with some of his peers and he was made fun of for having training wheels past the age where most of the other kids don't. He had stopped riding a bike with training wheels. As the camp progressed each day he had more and more confidence and by the end of the week he truly enjoyed riding a bike. He was one of the first children up on his bike. He was on it by Wednesday. I was so proud of him and amazed at this accomplishment. I would encourage other parents whose kids have a disability that they ought to try your camp. My child now rides alongside his brother and with the neighborhood children. I cried when he came home got on his bike and rode down the street to find his neighborhood friends. He has been smiling ever since and he now believes because of your camp that nothing is impossible and that he is capable of doing anything that his peers do. I don't think that any parent knows exactly how much their child's life will change after camp is over. They are a totally different child filled with confidence and optimism and that means the world to me as a parent. You just can't put a price tag on the effects of this camp on a child's life. Thanks again for allowing my child with autism to enjoy what normal children enjoy every day. I truly appreciate it. Thanks!"
