Forty community volunteers assisted 39 bikers during Lose the Training Wheels, hosted by the Gordon Field House and Activities Center Aug. 6-10. The camp helps kids with autism learn how to ride a conventional bike without training wheels, which organizers say builds self-confidence and provides inclusion with peers.

UNYFEAT, an organization that supports individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families, sponsored the event.
