The Cog Days of Summer
On two, three and four wheels, this has certainly been the summer of bikes with Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS). OAS has already provided over 250 cycling experiences totaling over 750 hours of both on and off road cycling! With a handful of programs left in August and a few special events in September, this summer will go on record as the busiest ever on wheels for our community. Over the past year, OAS has also added over $30,000 in adaptive cycling equipment to its fleet, gear that greatly expands the number of individuals OAS can serve through cycling programs. The growth of these programs wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing partners including the Bend Park and Recreation District and Cycle Oregon and especially to the world’s greatest volunteers who have donated hundreds of hours already this summer! Thank you to all who have helped make this the summer of bikes, we hope to catch a ride or two more with you before the season wraps up!
