Mission The mission of Lose The Training Wheels™ is to teach people with disabilities to ride a conventional two wheel bicycle and become lifelong independent riders. This achievement, in turn, creates a gateway of opportunity, helping them gain assurance and self-reliance in many other aspects of their lives. |
||||
How does it work? Lose The Training Wheels (LTTW) uses a fleet of adapted bicycles, a specialized instructional program and trained staff to teach individuals with disabilities to learn to ride a two-wheel bike. Participants attend one 75-minute session each day for five consecutive days where they learn to ride while accompanied and encouraged by a volunteer. Gradually the riders discover the skill and joy of riding a bike. |

Lose the Training Wheels, Camp Arizona
for Nicolas and Friends
Teach them to ride and see where they go….. Why We Ride
Lose the Training Wheels is a non-profit organization that teaches children with disabilities to ride a two-wheel bike.
Nicolas is a 13 year old boy who has Williams Syndrome (a rare syndrome that includes cognitive and motor delays and many other medical conditions) and our inspiration for bringing this camp to the Greater Phoenix area. Riding a bike is a rite of passage for every child. Nicolas spent many years waiting for a way to learn to ride a bike just like all the other kids in his neighborhood. At our first camp in the Greater Phoenix area in 2010 Nicolas successfully rode a bike for the first time. Now he enjoys riding with his family and friends and wants others with disabilities to have the same opportunity.
