Bikes Without Barriers

Empowering Mobility, Pedaling Towards Progress

About Bikes Without Barriers

Developmental Therapy Center’s Bikes Without Barriers Program is dedicated to helping children and adults who have disabilities receive access to customized bikes designed to help meet each individual’s unique needs. We pedal towards progress, believing that bikes are more than just wheels – they are gateways to mobility, strength, and unbridled fun!

Children and adults should experience the joy of riding bikes without barriers. That is why we are offering a variety of ways to purchase or secure funding for bikes. Currently, this program is available to any members of our community who may benefit.

Step 2

Attend Your Evaluation

During the evaluation, our therapist will obtain necessary measurements and help you select the most suitable options for a fun and safe riding experience.

Step 3

Receive A Quote

Following the evaluation, we will provide you with a personalized quote, detailing the purchase price of the customized bike. You will have the flexibility to either make a direct purchase or explore the option of fundraising to cover the cost of the bike.

Step 4

Secure Funding

We understand that purchasing a bike may present a financial challenge for many families. At DTC, we are committed to helping our patients access adaptive bikes, regardless of financial constraints. To assist you, DTC provides the following.

1. Personalized Fundraising Pages: If financial support is needed, we will set up a personalized fundraising page on our website, similar to a GoFundMe. This link can be shared with your family, friends, and community to gather contributions directly toward the purchase of your bike.

2. Access to the Bikes Without Barriers Fund: As part of DTC’s fundraising efforts, we have established the Bikes Without Barriers fund. When donations are made to the fund, they will be evenly distributed among families who are actively fundraising for their bikes. While we cannot guarantee specific amounts or availability, this fund is designed to provide additional financial support to help bridge the gap in the cost of a bike.

Step 5

Receive Your Bike!

Once the bike is fully funded, DTC will order the bike. As soon as your bike arrives at DTC, you will have a final fitting. During the fitting, you will receive the bike, helmet, safety guidelines, and instructions on bike maintenance and care.
