Cycling is good for the body and soul. And for people with disabilities, the benefits are even greater. At Envision Unlimited, our innovative Adaptive Cycling program is creating new experiences for people with disabilities and empowering them to be more mobile, independent and out in their communities.

Join us for our fourth annual Summer of Cycling, a series of six exhilarating rides throughout the Chicago area. From scenic views along Chicago’s lakefront to races at the nation’s second oldest velodrome, our Summer of Cycling has something for everyone.

Riders of all ages, skill levels and abilities are invited to join Envision Unlimited members*, staff and volunteers for hours of cycling fun. Participants can ride their own bikes or try out singles, tandems, tricycles and unique “Duet” bikes from Envision Unlimited’s impressive fleet of adaptive cycles.

Nothing empowers people like a thrilling day of cycling. So, join us as we pedal our way toward a better world for people with disabilities. Register for one ride or register for all!
