Velodromes usually are meant for high-speed cycling, but the public and Envision Unlimited members took over the track to race bikes from the Envision Unlimited Adaptive Cycling program's unique fleet.

Single bikes, tandems and adult tricycles were available to use, as well as the rare Duet bikes, which allow those who can't pedal to enjoy a ride with the help of a second cyclist.

Envision Unlimited is a full spectrum of care organization serving people ages 80 and younger with disabilities. For more information, visit envisionunlimited.org.
