Victor Parks and Recreation invited us to be a part of their Annual Bike Rodeo in July. In addition to the community races and activities, Victor Parks and Recreation offered the ice rink (no ice included) to Ontario ARC for FREE WHEEL'N - an opportunity for children who need some extra attention and training to learn to ride a bike!
Several stations, some with adapted equipment, were set up around the rink allowing children to work on various skills such as peddling, balance, and motor planning. The goal of the day was not just to ride a bike without training wheels, but to learn new skills to and gain confidence to come closer to riding a bike on their own.
A BIG THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who helped with the event - over 25 volunteers came out to assist 20 children learn how to ride a bike independently! Thank you to
Rochester Rehab SportsNet for providing the adapted equipment,
R Community Bikes for providing bikes and scooters, and to
Victor Parks and Recreation for allowing us to have such a fantastic event during their Bike Rodeo!
Congratulations to all of the riders!
