iCan BikeNext Camp Coming to Bismarck in 2023
July 31 – August 4 
iCan Bike uses adapted bicycles, a specialized instructional program and trained staff to teach individuals with disabilities how to ride a bike. Riders attend a 75-minute session for five consecutive days (M – F) where they are assisted and encouraged by two volunteer “spotters.”
Over the course of the 5-day camp, the adapted bike is adjusted to gradually challenge riders to develop their skills at their own pace. Participant Requirements
Participants must be:
Does It Work?
Parents, teachers and therapists describe the results as incredible. By the end of previous year’s Designer Genes iCan Bike camps, over 80% of the riders (ages 8-43) learned to ride a two-wheel bike independently. Learning to ride builds confidence and an improved self-image.
iCan Bike riders are ages 8 and up, teens and sometimes adults who have a diagnosed disability. Rides must be able to walk without assistive devices and sidestep from side to side. Cost to attend is $100. Be a Volunteer
Be a “spotter” for the same rider for each of the 5 days and experience the thrill of giving the gift of riding a bike! 75 invigorating minutes per day… it may be the most rewarding exercise and emotional experience you’ve ever had! Volunteers must be 15 years of age. To volunteer to be a spotter for a rider – Sign Up Now – or reach out to:
