Dozens of Manitobans with disabilities learned to ride a bicycle this week, at a special camp designed to help them ride on two wheels.

Every summer, the iCan Shine bike camp works with about 40 children and adults of all abilities to help them learn the basics of cycling over the course of a week.

This year's camp began Monday and wrapped up Friday at the East End Arena in Winnipeg. Participants ranged in age from eight to 40 years old, said Sean Frain, who co-hosted the event.

"It's never too late to learn how to ride a bike," he said.
