iCan Bike Camp

Rock the 21 was a proud sponsor of the 8th Annual Hoboken Bike Camp which is hosted by the Hoboken Family Alliance and operated in conjunction with iCanBike. The camp teaches individuals with disabilities to ride a two-wheel bicycle independently. This life-changing program fosters inclusion, acceptance and independence, two wheels at a time. iCanBike is a national, not-for-profit organization that has conducted hundreds of camps over the past decade and uses a proven protocol with an 80% success rate. Because of specially adapted bikes that use a roller instead of a rear wheel, participants become more balanced and comfortable in an accelerated time period. An on-site bike technician and floor supervisor help riders advance throughout a series of levels and within five days they are riding independently. Three of our very own rockers attended this year’s camp! A special shout out to all the volunteers who helped make this week a success for the riders - thank you!
