Our goal is to provide people with disabilities with all the classic benefits of riding a bike: mobility, strength, exercise, coordination, interaction with family and friends, and just pure fun! Nearly every rider can be successful, no matter their diagnosis, through our full line of highly adjustable trykes and myriad of adaptive accessories.
STEP 1
Complete a Therapeutic Tricycle Request Form and send it to Adaptive Sports Connection.
This application will help us better understand your needs, and help to identify the best therapist to perform your bike evaluation.
Download, fill out, and submit an Adaptive Therapeutic Tricycle Request Form along with a signed waiver to Adaptive Sports Connection, an Ohio chapter of AMBUCS.
Forms can be submitted either electronically to info@adaptivesportsconnection.org or through first class mail to waiver to Adaptive Sports Connection, 6000 Harriott Rd Powell OH 43065.
STEP 2
Free Bike Evaluation with a Trained Evaluator
Your trained evaluator will obtain the necessary measurements and help you pick out the best Adaptive Cycle option for you or your child with the appropriate adaptive accessories to make riding fun and safe.
We partner with many physical therapists at Ohio Health, Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Talk to your treating therapist or sign up for your evaluation with one of Adaptive Sports Connections trained evaluators by emailing maddie@adaptivesportsconnection.org.
Register for the Free Bike Evaluation with a Trained Evaluator
The evaluation time slots are available to individuals who have completed Step One of the Adaptive Therapeutic Bike Request Process. You should have received an email from Adaptive Sports Connection asking you to register for an evaluation to complete Step Two of the process.
Time: Evaluation appointments are available in half-hour increments.
STEP 3
Receive a quote for the purchase price of a new customized Adaptive Cycle.
We believe everyone who needs an adaptive bike should have the opportunity to receive their own customized bike, regardless of financial circumstances. We will work with you and your family.
STEP 4
Secure funding to purchase your Adaptive Therapeutic Cycle.
At the Adaptive Sports Connection, we want everyone who could benefit from an adaptive cycle, regardless of circumstances, to be able to receive their own customized Adaptive Cycle.
There are two ways to fund your new Adaptive Therapeutic Cycle.
Adaptive Sports Connection participates in fundraising activities throughout the year to benefit the Boundless Bike Giveaway Fund.
“Future Riders” are placed on the Boundless Bike Giveaway list based on the date the Request for Financial Aid Application is received. As funds become available they are distributed to riders based on the date of the request and amount of funding raised by family and friends.
No bikes can be ordered until they are fully funded. You will be notified once your bike is funded and has been ordered.
STEP 5
Schedule a time for your final fitting and RECEIVE YOUR NEW BIKE!
At your final fitting you will receive your Adaptive Therapeutic Cycle, your helmet, bicycle safety guidelines, instructions on how to care for your bike, where and how to obtain free bike maintenance and how to ReCYCLE your bike should you outgrow your current model.
Ride-On and Share!
Be sure to send us photos and videos of you riding your bike to info@adaptivesportsconnection.org. Also, be sure to post on social media.
