- The basic premise is that it's like a library for bikes.

It's a chance for people who, of all abilities, all ages can come and ride a bike, that's probably going to look a little different than what they're used to seeing.

There was a family that heard about us and their son has seizures.

So he would ride in the front and there's straps that can hold the torso up.

We decided we wanted to do this because we have a daughter who's 13 and has autism.

She can't ride a bike by herself and has difficulty walking, doing other kinds of exercise.

So biking is the one thing that she gets excited about and that she can do.

(peaceful music) We do a, almost every day, a morning ride with Rose around the lake.

It's a great way to get outside and see the, see nature, see the lakes.

(peaceful music) It's the only real form of exercise that she gets.

She's very uneasy, walking.

She has balance issues and things like that.

She can't communicate with us very well to tell us if she feels pain.

So we, we're not even sure if, if walking is something that is, how uncomfortable it is for her, if it causes her pain.

But getting on the bike, she pedals.

In some ways she becomes, her behavior changes when she's on the bike.

(peaceful music) We never really know what is going on in her head and what fears she might have and how uncomfortable she is with things.

So the fact that she's taking a risk, she's getting on this bike.

This is one great way just to get her outside, getting some fresh air, using her muscles and just seeing, seeing other people.

So the hope is people can come and they can take out a bike with them and they'll be able to take them on the bike paths and enjoy being in a group of other people who are doing the same thing.
