4 1-Hour Training Sessions to Being Able to Ride for Down Syndrome Young Man

Hello Everyone, there was a major success today that I wanted to share with you.  Jane, Daniels mom, spoke with me about her 16-year-old son with
Downs Syndrome at a recent bike training registration day at a local YMCA.  She had heard about a bike training program for special needs children and adults at a conference she attended.  She asked, “do you do something like that”?  

She so wanted to give her son the opportunity to experience riding by himself.  Daniel and his dad had ridden a tandem, which Daniel enjoyed very much. I had not worked with a handicap like Daniels, but I agreed to work with him.  Jane gave me assurance she would be patent with the progress.  There are two video clip links below. 

The first is during the second class.  Daniel progressed significantly to get this far.  He was enjoying the games we played to build bike riding skills.

The secondvideo is the end of the 4th one-hour session.  You will be amazed at the difference.  

Daniel has become a friend I enjoy spending time with.  He has lofty goals.  One of which is to ride in the Tour de France.  I am ecstatic I had the opportunity to get
him started on this goal.  We will spend the next few training session working on some more of the finer bicycling skills.  I can not wait to see him in the Tour de France.  

The bike training method I used with Daniel is the same method I use with chidlren as young as two.  You can learn more by visiting www.bikecoachonline.com or www.notrainingwheels.net.
 

Have a great day….
