Did You Listen to my Radio Show today?
If you did then you know why I asked. Here is the infromation I promised the listeners.
ADAPTIVE CYCLING CENTER
Dennis Sutherlin and Rich Benton have opened the Family Cycling Center at the Winter Garden Station on the West Orange Trail. Named “Adaptive Cycling,” the center provides rentals and sales of bicycles that allow family members with disabilities to ride. The shop has tandems, recumbents and recumbent trikes. Their focus is on “special needs” children who would otherwise never have the opportunity to ride a bike and will enable them to ride with their parents for recreation and therapy. The shop also features high-quality Co-Motion and Trek bikes and can accommodate children as young as 3 years old. Says Dennis:
We are just getting started as a weekend business to hopefully introduce cycling to many families who thought it was never an option for them. Because of the expense of the equipment, we only have limited quantities to start and ask anyone planning to come out to call us ahead of time.We are hoping that everyone’s love for the sport will encourage everyone to spread the word about what we are doing to anyone we might be able to assist. We will be working with all special needs organizations from Cerebral palsy, autism, spinal bifida, visually impaired, brain injury, Rett’s, and Down syndrome to name a few.
We are not out to compete against all the great bike shops in town or to provide typical single bike rentals. Even though we will have the capacity to modify and repair most bicycles, we ask that you please use your local bike shop for parts and service on you regular bikes. We will have emergency supplies like tubes or CO2 if you need it on the weekend.
Contact Dennis or Rich at 407 877 8030 and check out their website at -> www.adaptivecycling.net!
