Methodist Rehabilitation Center will offer a free introduction to handcycling from noon to 3:30 p.m. July 31 at Bingo World in Grenada.
One of several adaptive sports available at Methodist Rehab, handcycling is basically biking without the legwork, says Ginny Boydston, director of therapeutic recreation for the Jackson hospital.
“Riders sit in chair-style seats and pedal with their hands,” she explained. “It’s a great activity for wheelchair users who want to get some exercise and explore the outdoors.”
