Adaptive Bikes on the Playground in Morton Grove

An adaptive bike-riding event for individuals who struggle with riding a traditional bike

The Niles Township District for Special Education (NTDSE) is hosting an Adaptive Bikes on the Playground event on April 12 from 4 – 5 p.m.

The event is at Molloy Education Center Playground, 8701 Menard Ave., in Morton Grove.

Riding a bike allows a person to get exercise outdoors. For individuals who struggle with riding a traditional bike, an adaptive bike can be helpful. Anyone with a disability or injury that affects balance or motor function is an ideal candidate.

Adaptive bikes are designed to meet the abilities of a rider and help overcome challenges. Adaptive bikes may include:

• Trikes
• Handcycles
• Recumbent bikes
• Tandem bikes
• Hybrid bikes

Mark your calendar and make plans to ride together at the park.
