About
iCan Bike Camp uses the iCan Bike program to teach participants to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle. The camp is structured as a bike camp where participants work toward independently riding a conventional two-wheel bicycle.
• Schedule: June 22nd to 26th, 2026
iCan Bike Camp is part of iCan Shine, which began in 2007 with the iCan Bike program. Since 2007, the organization has successfully taught approximately 30,000 people with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle. Approximately 80% of the people who participate in the iCan Bike program learn to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle independently for at least 75 feet with no assistance by the end of the five-day program while attending for only 75 minutes each day, and the remaining 20% make progress toward this goal and leave with family members trained as “spotters.” iCan Shine states that the vast majority of people with disabilities never independently ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle, and research cited by the organization shows that over 80% of people with Autism and 90% of people with Down syndrome never do so. iCan Shine provides quality learning opportunities in recreational activities for individuals with disabilities and creates an environment where each person is empowered to maximize their individual abilities. The organization is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit and collaborates with local organizations and individuals, called program hosts, to conduct approximately 100 five-day iCan programs in 35 states and Canada, serving nearly 3,000 people with disabilities each year.
One parent shared that her child was nervous on the first day of bike camp but later said he was thankful he got to go to bike camp. Another parent reported that her son, who is usually scared and nervous to try new things, met his goal to ride a two-wheeled bike in three days and that the staff and volunteers were patient and considerate in how they spoke to participants. A third parent described how her son, who is paralyzed from the knees down, gained a good foundation in riding during a weeklong program in 2011 and later rode five miles in a benefit bike ride for Spina Bifida. Another parent stated that seeing her son ride a two-wheeler for the first time brought her to tears.
