About this service
The Bikes for Tykes program was introduced to provide funding for the adaptation of a bicycle for the individual needs of a child with a disability. Our goal is to provide a means for a child to participate in the everyday activities that all children enjoy; riding to the park, exploring unknown territory, and spending time with friends. Bikes provide an independent mode of transportation that helps build self-esteem and gives a sense of freedom. Special adaptations to a bicycle can help a child with disabilities "delight in being a child".
The scope of this project ranges from minor adaptations to a fully customized bicycle to provide the necessary support for a child's personal needs. Cost of adaptations can range from $500 up to $1,800 for a customized bicycle.
- Special adaptations include:
- special foot plates
- back support
- handlebar modification
- braking system modification
- specialized training wheels
- drive train modification
- wheelchair bicycle additions
