Here is a picture of the bike that I want to get for Evan. It is the Freedom Concepts discovery 16 bike. We would get ours with the high back seat, rear steering, loop handlebars, chest harness, hand wrap for lefty, pulley system. I really want this bike for Evan so the first thing I am going to do is get an RX for it from the Dr. at Shriner's, then I am going to have Evan's OT do the evaluation form for it, and maybe even write the justification letter for it as well. I have to get this for Evan, I was watching videos of kids with these bikes on the freedom concepts website and these kids just love their bikes and the freedom they feel. And the kids that I saw were of all ranges of abilities, from more severe than Evan to less severe than him. I truly do not understand how this is not an appropriate piece of equipment for him at this time.

We are going to start fundraising for this bike. So if anyone would like to donate to a great cause of getting Evan an adaptive bicycle we and he would greatly appreciate it. I am going to work hard to get Alta or the school district to pay for it but I do not feel that my son should have to wait for these people to realize it would be great for him. I am not going to sit on my tush and wait for them to do it, I am going to fight to get funds to buy this for him. I think this is a piece of equipment that any special needs child that cannot ride a regular bike should have. Ok, off my soapbox now. But seriously the fundraising has begun. Thanks
