Registration for our Borrow a Bike Program is now open! Registering for the Borrow a Bike Program will allow you to attend our Try a Bike Day (TABD); Spots for TABD are limited so sign up while you can. https://cms.cyanicautomation.com//e/borrowBikeRegistration

Did you know that in 2020, our volunteers put in 3013 hours of hard work helping children with disabilities experience the joy of riding a bike?

We want to know; What bike-related skills do you want to learn more about? Here are some examples of questions we have gotten in the past to help spark some ideas! - My child does not know how to pedal, how can I help? - How do know when my child is ready to lose the training wheels?

Tomorrow is registration day! Register for the Borrow a Bike Program to secure your spot at Try a Bike Day (TABD). We only have approximately 65 spots available at TABD, so make sure you're on your computer at exactly noon tomorrow!

We are SO excited for the 2021 Bike Year! Registration for our Try A Bike Day will be live on January 3rd on our website. Make sure to register early to get your spot

A quick reminder for those families who have already registered for the Borrow a Bike Program: Please fill out part two to your registration as quickly as possible! This part of the registration is super important, as it allows us to match your child to a bike If you have any questions regarding part two of the registration, please reach out to [email protected]

Don't forget, registration for Try a Bike Day opens this Sunday, January 3rd at noon! Registration link: https://cms.cyanicautomation.com//e/borrowBikeRegistration Please note that when you are registering for Try a Bike Day, the registration form will be for the Borrow a Bike program. The reason for this is that we've set it up this year so that registration in the Borrow a Bike program is required before attending Try a Bike Day. Requiring registration will allow us to adhere to all Alberta Health Services public health measures and keep everyone safe!

Worried that you missed registration? Don't fret, there's still room at our Try a Bike Day! Registration closes once we reach our capacity. Keep an eye out for updates. Registration link: https://cms.cyanicautomation.com//e/borrowBikeRegistration

#Throwbackfriday to the Rotary Ride on August 8, 2020! Thank you to the Rotary Club of Spruce Grove for their continued support of YCR2.

A win for accessibility!

Bike Highlight: The Elliptical Bike This is a unique bike option for children with limited range of motion in their knees but who have good hip mobility. One of our volunteer machinists has also developed a shoe lift so it can be used even if a child has a significant leg length discrepancy. This bike is primarily appropriate for children with arthogryposis. One of our riders was able to complete the Terry Fox run at her school for the first time using this bike! Pros: ch...ildren at same height as peers riding bikes. Cons: big, heavy, single speed, can be difficult to transfer onto. See more

Happy holidays from our family to yours!

Due to COVID-19, we will not be able to host our annual Adaptive Bike Fair, however, we will be bringing back Try A Bike Day! Try A Bike day will be hosted over the span of a few days to ensure that we can adhere to Alberta Health Service Regulations. Dates to be announced. Registration for Try A Bike Day will be open on January 3, 2021

We asked our families what the best part of having an adaptive bike for the summer was and here is one of the great responses we received!

Our mechanics keep You Can Ride 2 running; They help out on event days, but, they also spend hours getting bikes ready for the kids for the next season. You Can Ride 2 couldn’t function without them. Thank you!
