Children and adults with special needs and their siblings can learn about safe bike riding and try a variety of adaptive bikes at BikeAbility, to be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 21, at Bowles parking lot on the UNC campus.
The event is presented by Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation's Adapted Recreation and Inclusion program, in partnership with UNC police, UNC's Trauma Prevention Office and the Crumley Roberts Law Firm. They'll help you or your child practice bike riding and take you through a bike safety course to help practice braking, turning and staying safe while riding. Bring your own bike or try one of vendor Ambucs' adapted bikes. Also at the event will be the Recyclery, Cycle 9, face painting and more.
The event is free, but you must register. Register in advance at www.townofchapelhill.org/register. For more information, email mkaslovsky@townofchapelhill.org or call 919-968-2813.
