Craig Hospital Cycling-Colorado

**Private Event - Registration Open to Craig Hospital Patients and Volunteers ONLY**​

Short Description: 

Participants meet with the Craig Hospital CTRS and Adaptive Adventures staff individually to assess safety, cycling abilities, endurance level, and proper fitting of equipment (upright, tandem, trike, or handcycle).  Small group treatment sessions will include discussions on the benefits of exercise, motivational techniques (i.e. charting progress in time, distance, and/or terrain), training and practice on cycling skills, traffic etiquette, safety, and dealing with emergencies or mechanical failures. Cycling groups will consist of learning about and engaging in opportunities in the home communities.

Goal:

The goal of the cycling program is for each participant to be at a functionally independent level for participation in community cycling.
