Children and adults with disabilities learn to ride regular two-wheeled bicycles at Easterseals "iCan Bike" day camp! Thirty individuals achieved important goals during the most recent five-day workshop, which was held in June 2025 at Evansville's National Guard Armory.
Participants must be at least 8 years old and must have some type of disabling condition. "Day campers" progress through a series of uniquely adapted bikes toward their goal of riding a regular two-wheeler with no adaptations by the end of the week.
Cost is $200 per person, and financial assistance is available thanks to generous donors! Registration includes the five-day "bike camp", an "iCan Bike" t-shirt, and bicycle safety helmet. Each participant attends for 75 minutes daily during a specific time frame. (The 75-minute sessions are scheduled in advance and are held between 8:00am and 12:30pm OR between 1:00pm and 4:30pm.)
Volunteers are needed to provide individual assistance for participants. Volunteers must be at least 15 years old, have the ability to run beside a child on a bike, and be available each day of camp during specific session times. This is a great opportunity for service hours for high school and college students!
iCan Bike will return in the summer of 2026! To sign up, volunteer, or donate to this unique program, contact Patty Balbach, 812.479.1411, ext. 268, or pbalbach@evansvillerehab.com.
