Bike Camp For People With Disabilities Coming To Morris County

iCanBike uses adapted bikes to teach people with disabilities how to ride a bike.

MORRIS, NJ — Morris County is offering a week-long camp this summer where people with disabilities can learn how to ride adapted bikes.

"iCanBike" uses an adapted, custom bike and trained professionals and volunteers to help teach those with disabilities how to ride bikes. The goal is to have people riding independently by the end of the program.

The camp will be held at Community College of Morris between Aug. 6 and 10, and will cost $200. There are 40 spots.

“This is a remarkable program that can benefit an important segment of our community,’’ said Morris County Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “We thank the organizers for bringing it to Morris County.’’

“Biking has the potential for being a family activity since everyone can ride together,’’ said camp co-organizer Diane Doherty. “For the campers, biking is a monumental accomplishment. And their families can sit back and enjoy watching the participants having fun.’’
