COMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2019 Five-day iCan bike camp returns into Hermiston By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR A unique day camp that provides instruction on how to ride bicycles returns to Hermiston. After a one-year hiatus, the iCan Bike program rides into town again — offering individuals with disabilities an opportunity to learn how to ride a bicycle. Cindy Mid- dleton was the driving force behind bringing the iCan Bike to Eastern Oregon after her son, Rian, participated in the program in Longview, Washington. “Cindy saw the suc- cess Rian had when he was younger. She saw the ben- efi ts of the independence it gave him,” said volunteer Tracy Hepworth. In addition to learning how to ride bikes, Hepworth said the program increases self-confi dence and pro- vides an opportunity for par- ticipants to interact with oth- ers. She said learning the skill opens the door for out- door fun.

Riders initially utilize special bikes provided by the program. After working on skills indoors, they move outside to the track. By the end of the week, Hepworth said a large percentage of the participants are able to transition to riding their own 2-wheeled bike. Riders are assisted by assigned volunteers, who must be at least 15 years old. Also, volunteers need to commit to the same time- frame each day to provide continuity for the partici- pants. A variety of physical activity levels are needed from volunteers — from those who can walk to peo- ple able to jog at a vigorous pace. “We have parents that come and help and kids that run cross country,” Hep- worth said. “The community has been phenomenal and the kids have so much fun.” There is a mandatory 45-minute training session for volunteers. It will be held Sunday, June 23 at Armand Larive. The time will be announced.
