Summer of Cycling Series

Cycling is good for the body and soul. And for people with disabilities and mental health challenges, the benefits are even greater. At Envision Unlimited, our innovative Adaptive Cycling program is creating new experiences for our members and empowering them to be more mobile, independent, and out in their communities.

Join us for our third annual Summer of Cycling, a series of six exhilarating rides throughout the Chicago area. From scenic views along Chicago’s lakefront to races at the nation’s second oldest velodrome, our Summer of Cycling has something for everyone.

Riders of all ages, skill levels and abilities are invited to join Envision Unlimited members, staff and volunteers for hours of cycling fun. Participants can ride their own bikes or try out singles, tandems, tricycles and unique “Duet” bikes from Envision Unlimited’s impressive fleet of adaptive cycles.

Nothing empowers people like a thrilling day of cycling. So, join us as we pedal our way toward a better world for people with disabilities.

Our Summer of Cycling Series is full of exciting rides for you to enjoy.

Come ride with us and let the good times roll!

Support a worthy cause while having
loads of cycling fun

While some might take riding a bike for granted, for many of our members, cycling is a new or relatively rare experience that results in newfound confidence, greater mobility, and independence.

Members choose what to ride from a variety of bikes in our fleet: a traditional 2-wheel bike, tandem bicycle, the Duet bike that has a wheelchair in front of the tandem pilot, the recumbent bike, or the trike. Volunteers ride with them or alongside and share their cycling passion and knowledge. 

We started with a donation of a few tandem bikes. This modest program that began with five Envision Unlimited members and a handful of community volunteers has grown to include a team of over 100 cyclists.
