Pike Autism Support Services of NE Pa. ( PASS) launched the “iCan Bike” this summer. It was a week long program designed to teach individuals with special needs how to ride a bike. The benefits of learning this skill include increasing self- esteem and confidence, positive changes in family-based recreational activities, inclusion opportunities, independence, improved physical fitness, mental health and overall quality of life.  AllOne Charities granted $10,000 to purchase the bikes and support the training.  News coverage: https://www.brctv13.com/news/local-news/28729-i-can-bike-camp
