We are honored to partner with Hope Rolls- Dickinson County and love seeing the joy and freedom these adaptive cycles bring to their recipients and families. 💙🚲

It’s all about accessibility - creating opportunities for people of all abilities to get outside, experience our trails, and enjoy the simple freedom of a bike ride.

“The trail is there for everyone at every phase of life.”
~Jennifer Pharr Davis, renowned long-distance hiker and author~

We couldn’t agree more. Trails are for everyone. ❤️

What a great way to start the week! Today, we were able to surprise Joe with a special bike designed just for him! 🚲💙

Joe needed the stability of a trike, along with some electric assistance to help him tackle the hills around here. Taylor at The Okoboji Cyclist absolutely nailed it and found the perfect setup!

A huge thank-you to the Dickinson County Trails, an anonymous donor, and Dave with K***r Trucking for helping make this possible.

We love helping people get out on our incredible trail system with bikes that are fitted to their individual needs. Happy riding, Joe!
