Friday Jan 26 - Therapist, Bike Trials

At the Try a Bike day, all children will be pre-matched with a bike based on their functional skills and level of mobility. Therapists will help assess the suitability of this initial match, and try other bikes to compare in order to determine "best bike". Therapists will also make recommendations for modifications to be done prior to pick up in order to ensure the optimal set up. Training will be provided, though for this event, previous bike fitting experience is recommended. Please review attached documents prior to the Try a Bike day and contact janine@youcanride2.ca with any questions.
