REHAB Hospital of the Pacific (REHAB), the VA Pacific Islands Healthcare System, Adaptive Adventures, and Hawai‘i Bicycling League will be holding a free adaptive cycling event on August 11 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Kapiolani Park across from the Diamond Head Tennis Center. The purpose of this event is to provide community members with physical disabilities a safe space to experience adaptive cycling with the support of trained physical therapists and volunteers. Participants will journey through planned routes using equipment provided by Adaptive Adventures.
“We love that our adaptive cycling events are growing,” said Stephanie Nadolny, President and CEO of REHAB.
“Seeing participants make new connections while experiencing the excitement of cycling is what these events are all about! Coming together as a community to get active and enjoy a beautiful morning–there’s nothing better.”
Participants must be able to self-transfer up or down by 12+ inches, be comfortable in group spaces with noise and wear a helmet when utilizing the adaptive bicycles. Due to the size of the equipment, the bicycles may not be suitable for children. Please contact 808.566.3741 or email community@rehabhospital.org for more information.
