Fat tires and adapted trikes: An East York program wants kids of all abilities to ride a bike | CBC News A program in East York that teaches kids with disabilities to ride bicycles is trying to raise funds so it can bring in more equipment and help more children.

If your child is having trouble riding without training wheels or just needs to improve their biking skills, we can help! We also have a huge variety of adapted and adult trikes, so anyone can ride!

With one week to go before the program begins we've added more classes to meet demand. Spaces are now available in morning and afternoon classes!

For many years our Xceptional Biking program has helped hundreds of children with special needs learn how to ride a two wheel bike.

The custom built bikes we have used for over two decades are in desperate need of repair, and we would like to produce improved models to accommodate more people.

The cost for developing new bikes is unfortunately much greater than the financial capabilities of our small program.

We hope that the many great supporters of our programs will help us achieve this goal so that we can continue to help hundreds more children achieve their goal of riding a two wheeler.

Please help us by sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family, and if possible, giving any amount you can, no matter how small. Every little bit helps!

All funds donated will go directly to the development of these bikes.

Thank you so much!
