Bike Camp 2012
Just as Ben did in 2012, Chris learned to ride a bike this summer with help from the wonderful folks at Lose the Training Wheels!A big thanks go out to all the volunteers and staff members at LTTW for enabling Chris to be so successful!

| In the Lose the Training Wheels program, a student starts off on a modified bike in which the rear wheel has been replaced with a wide roller. This lets him/her practice the art of balancing. There are also volunteers running alongside to help. As the week goes on, the roller is swapped out for a more and more tapered roller. Finally, by the end of the week, the student is ready to ride a regular bike! | |
The students get to ride a specially-made tandem bike as a preview to riding solo. |
