Lose The Training Wheels Success Stories

AWESOME program that taught my son how to ride this month! He said it was easy with the roller wheels and it gave him the confidence that he could balance on a bike with only two wheels. He is looking forward to a summer filled with bike riding with friends and family!

What you do was nothing short of a huge blessing and miracle for our son! Joshua loves riding his bike ... and your camps made it possible!

It’s not the same anymore! – Jacob Hampton

Just want you guys to know, my guy attended the camp in Scottsdale over winter break.  We came down from Kingman, and he is kicking butt!!  He jumps on that thing and just takes off!!!  Scares me, but we hop on our bikes and go right after him.  He loves it!!  You guys saved him in a sense =]!!!  He has changed completely since we did your program and for the better!!

When I was growing up, My friend Kerry had developmental disabilities. She would stand at the top of the hill and watch us ride up and down all day long. Sometimes, she would ask to ride our bikes. When we would give her one, she would walk it all the way down the hill and then all the way back up. I always assumed that she just couldn't learn to ride. Now, my son has developmental disabilities with balance issues and I am determined that he will ride a bike. I found your organization this morning while looking for bigger training wheels. I am gonna work hard to get a camp in Pittsburgh, and if I can't make it happen, we will go to the nearest one to us. This is awesome!

Riding Tips Eat before you are hungry Eat small amounts of carbohydrates every hour. Foods such as bananas are high in potassium and help prevent cramping and provide about 100 calories. Drink before you are thirsty In warmer weather, dehydration can be a problem. Drink at least one large (27 oz) bottle of fluid every hour. Remember to carry water bottles on your bike. Obey All Road Signs ‘nuff said! RailRoad Tracks Railroad crossings can be hazardous to cyclists in dry weather and are extremely dangerous in wet weather.  Slow down and cross tracks at a right angle to prevent damage to your bike and possible injury to you.  In wet weather, cyclists are encouraged to dismount and walk their bikes across the tracks. Avoid Flat Tires Check for adequate tire inflation before the ride. Many flat tires are due to stickers. Clean your tires at rest stops.  Carry a tire pump and patch kit. No headphones, MP3 players, iPods or “Walkman Personal Stereos” will be allowed on the routes. Helmets are required for all riders
