Cycling, Adaptive
Cycling is an excellent low‑impact workout for people with disabilities, helping improve cardiovascular health, coordination, balance, and strength. Courage Kenny Sports & Recreation offers two adaptive cycling options:
Weekly Rides
We transport an adaptive bike to you for guided weekly rides on paved Twin Cities trails. If you already own a bike and simply want someone to ride with, you’re welcome to join.
Summer Handcycle Loan
Rent a handcycle for the full summer and ride independently or meet us on the trail. A safe indoor storage space is required.

What it is
Weekly Rides
Ride at your own pace with support from a volunteer instructor on paved trails throughout the Twin Cities.
Summer Handcycle Loan
We offer a range of adaptive bikes to meet different physical needs. Summer‑long rentals are available for handcycles only, with priority for new riders. All new riders receive a bike fitting.
Who it is for
Adaptive cycling is designed for individuals with disabilities. We have limited youth handcycles; most bikes fit riders 5'5" and taller.
What to expect
- Register for a bike fitting. A bike fitting is required for anyone using Courage Kenny bikes for weekly rides or rentals. Appointments are scheduled individually.
- We’ll contact you to schedule your appointment.
- At your fitting, you will get on different styles of bikes to determine the best bike(s) for you.
- Sign up for weekly rides or a summer handcycle loan once your bike is selected.
If you have your own bike, simply register for weekly rides—you bring the bike, we bring the volunteers.
Good to know
- Due to limited inventory, trikes are available for group rides only (no summer rentals).
- During your fitting, you’ll submit your availability for weekly rides.
- Helmets are required.
