Every week during the school year, Bike Newport hosts students from Thompson Middle School’s Life Skills Program. We go for bike rides on specialized adaptive bikes & trikes, teach bike safety skills, give opportunities for students to practice basic bike maintenance and repair, and enjoy a range of other fun & engaging activities.

All of Bike Newport’s programs are inclusive and adaptive to the needs of every individual, so whether it’s through our community Open Garage, our internships for Rogers High School students, or any of our valued programs, making bike dreams come to life for all people of all abilities is core to who we are and how we operate.

Visit this special Bike to the Beach page featuring Bike Newport to meet our kids and hear their Bike Dreams!

“Many of my students have discovered a love of bikes after helping to put bikes together and to take them apart with the incredible staff at Bike Newport. The students love going to Bike Newport not only to work with the bikes but also because the staff always make us feel so welcome and there is never a doubt as to my students’ ability to perform any of the tasks asked of them. Bike Newport is setting an incredible example for all outreach programs on Aquidneck Island with their work with children with Autism as well as other learning challenges. Bike Newport doesn’t just accommodate people with disabilities, they encourage full collaboration and participation!”
