IRONWOOD / U.P. - Yesterday in Ironwood veterans got a chance to experience bike riding with adaptive options. The Superior Alliance for Independent Living or SAIL partnered with Veteran’s Affairs to give physically challenged vets an option. SAIL and the Iron Mountain VA brought trikes that offered low impact and no balance alternatives to regular bikes. SAIL Health & Wellness Program Manager Timothy Schumann said there are lots of great places in the U.P. to ride, and with the adaptive bikes, more folks can take advantage of that healthy pastime. The goal is to show veterans in Gogebic County that there are different cycles that are available to them no matter what their mobility concerns or abilities are. The workshop was hosted in Stormy Kromer’s parking lot and those in attendance received a store discount card. The next adaptive bike expo will be held on July 2nd at Houghton Baptist Church. Anyone interested in trying or borrowing an adaptive bike is invited to contact SAIL at upsail.org or through their Facebook page.
