Lose the Training Wheels camp

Today in Southeast Portland there will be a special graduation ceremony.

For the last four days a group called Lose the Training Wheels has been holding a camp to teach 35 physically challenged kids how to ride a bike.

Kris Schamp of the Bike Gallery was there as a sponsor and a volunteer and sent in these great photos (thanks Kris!).

The group that puts on the camp maintains a fleet of specially modified rigs to get the kids rolling. Check out the neat tandem (below) and look at those tires!

It looks like a very inspiring group of kids and a great program. Congratulations to all the graduates!
