KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A group of volunteers are helping people with disabilities in East Tennessee learn how to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle.
It's called the iCan Bike program. It's happening from July 10 to July 14 at Sharon Baptist Church in Knoxville, which is located at 7916 Pedigo Road.

The Down Syndrome Awareness Group of East Tennessee is hosting the camp. One volunteer says she loves seeing the progress the kids make through the week.
"My favorite part is watching the progression from Monday to Friday. We have some of our kiddos come in who are super anxious and don't really know how to feel about it. By Friday they come running in and give people high fives and hugs and are super excited. So it's awesome to see that increase in self-confidence," Emma Addison, a floor supervisor for the event, said.
