Connect with RIDE TO UNITE for some fun bike riding events. Ride to Unite’s (RTU) goal is to be the leading cycling resource for individuals with disabilities in the St. Louis Metro area. By providing awareness of the importance of cycling for EVERYONE, cycling resources and access, and opportunities to ride safely while removing barriers, we work to advance an inclusive cycling community in St. Louis. Collaborating to Maximize Strengths: Our partnerships with 15+ non-profit agencies such as Variety, Special Olympics Missouri, Achilles STL and Children’s Hospital, as well as businesses and individuals makes RTU a unique program that leverages existing services and our shared commitment to efficiently maximize impact.
Adult Tandem Bike Riding: Achilles St. Louis in partnership with Cycle St. Louis launched an Adult Tandem Bike Riding Program that takes place every Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm, starting from the Forest Park Visitor Center. Some of the participants haven’t ridden since they were children and it’s clear this program is having a big impact on the well-being of adults with disabilities. Come ride with us or volunteer to help. If you’re interested, email Cycle STL here.
