10/29 Westfield Cycling for Veterans and SHIP

Cycling Program for People with Brain Injuries and Veterans

Join us at the Shaker Farms Bike Path in Westfield, MA to browse a wide variety of cycles accommodating riders of all abilities — from stable recumbent tricycles to tandem cycles, hand-pedaled cycles, and more. Then enjoy a ride down the rail trail for a one-hour time slot!

The rail trail is well-paved and flat, featuring a bridge across the Little River. Our recumbent trikes offer a neutral, comfortable body position, so they are perfect for anyone who wants to get some non-weight-bearing exercise without having to balance a two-wheel bike or for those who are uncomfortable on a two-wheel bike for any reason. We can set up trikes for one-sided control.

Equipment and cycles provided. Helmets are required for all riders; you can bring your own or borrow one of ours.

Program Cost:

• $5 for attendees
• Free of charge for Veterans of the US Military

Sign up for a one hour time slot within the program time of 10 AM-3 PM. This program is open to people with brain injuries.  Loved ones are welcome to join. This program is generously funded by the Massachusetts Statewide Head Injury Program. There is no charge for this program for Veterans, as their participation is generously funded by the federal Veterans Adaptive Sports grant. 

Pre-registration by 3pm the day before is required.  We will not be able to accommodate any walk-ins.
