About this program

During the summer, Dare2tri hosts weekly adaptive cycling practices on Chicago's lakefront. Individuals of all experience levels are welcome! Dare2tri coaches and volunteers are on hand to instruct, assist with equipment fitting, adjustments and transfers, and lead practices. Sighted guides and tandem pilots help as needed. Don't have a bike? No worries — Dare2tri has a fleet of adaptive equipment on-site to try and use during practice. (Mondays & Wednesdays, times vary. Free.)
