Why you don't want to miss the BORP-NorCal SCI Adaptive Cycling Sundays in Los Gatos

This bike will be available for your enjoyment, offering a higher level clearance as well as ease of transfer from your wheelchair.

For several months, ongoing discussions and meetings have been held between NorCal SCI and Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program (BORP) to host Adaptive Cycling on six Sundays in a row starting April 25th and ending May 30th at the Vasona Park & Lake in Los Gatos. Hand and foot pedal cycles will be available for your enjoyment and we have developed procedures that meet the COVID-19 safety guidelines while the BORP cycling staff will work with each participant to comfortably fit them into a bike. As of today, there are a few slots still available which you can register for HERE.

This bike offers a lower center of gravity as well as ability to extend your legs

We will have volunteers, lift equipment and various types of bikes to fit just about every preference out there. Our launching point will be in the parking lot and adjacent to the entrance of the Boat Center and we’ve saved up numerous parking spaces next to the staging area for easy access. Each rider can be escorted by a rider or go solo if they have demonstrated the ability to operate the bike in a safe manner. The trails at Vasona Park are easy for any level of experience and you can have up to 50 minutes of ride time.

If you have a companion bike rider, bring them and their bike so that you can both enjoy the day and the ride through the park. We hope that you will participate in this first-ever extended run of Adaptive Cycling to hit the South Bay. We are working to turn this recreational activity a regular program that could be offered and would appreciate seeing the support needed to give us confidence to invest our resources and bring this type of activity to those with paralysis.
