Thought I would post this.

It's for kids with special needs to learn how to ride a two wheeler.
I know of a child who had half her brain removed and was left with major weakness on one side of her body and she has now learned how to do it on her own. What she learned at "Camp" she continued to practice at home. It's amazing to watch her progress!

that is an amazing thing. I learned how to ride a two wheeler when i was 9, and i gave up at one point and threw my bike out where the trash was picked up... dad made me get back on it and try again and eventually i was riding by myself... a few skinned knees, and that one time i landed in a pile of cat poo.... but i learned how to ride... kida wish i had more help in the beginning, may not have wanted to quit so easily.
