SEQUIM WHEELERS MISSION
OUR OBJECTIVES
SEQUIM WHEELERS OFFERS FREE WHEELCHAIR BIKE RIDES FOR FOLKS THAT CANNOT RIDE A BIKE THEMSELVES, PROVIDING FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINE FOR BOTH RIDERS AND VOLUNTEERS. THE ABILITY OF THESE TYPES OF BIKE RIDES TO LIFT THE SPIRITS OF DISABLED INDIVIDUALS WAS DOCUMENTED BY ALBERTA HEALTH SERVICES. IT FOUND THAT THE RIDES DRAMATICALLY DECREASE DEPRESSION, WHILE IMPROVING SLEEP, APPETITE, AND MORE. WE ARE PROVIDING FUN RIDES ON THE OLYMPIC DISCOVERY TRAIL IN SEQUIM.
WE USE ADAPTIVE BICYCLES ON THE OLYMPIC DISCOVERY TRAIL TO PROVIDE FREE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO CANNOT RIDE ON THEIR OWN.
- WE BELIEVE THAT ANYONE, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY, DESERVES THE FREEDOM AND JOY THAT COMES WITH RIDING A BIKE.
- OUR GOAL IS TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SOCIAL INTERACTION, AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY WHILE BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS AND PROMOTING DIVERSITY & INCLUSION.
- WE HOPE TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO EMBRACE THE POWER OF ADAPTIVE SPORTS AND TO FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES ARE CELEBRATED AND INCLUDED.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHO CAN RIDE?
Our guests are unable to ride a bike themselves. The Bike Chair is designed to let someone else do the pedaling while the guest enjoys the view. Our goal is to help others get out on the Olympic Discovery Trail for some fresh air and sunshine. Just sit back and be our guests.
Sequim Wheelers does not have the means to get our guests to our loading area, so we ask that you provide your own transportation.
People who CANNOT participate are individuals over 235 pounds (the manufacturers’ weight limit), or who have postural issues, decubitus ulcers, or other conditions that prohibit them from sitting upright in the wheelchair, or those with extreme, unpredictable behaviors, or acute illnesses.
WHAT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE?
Our volunteers must be at least 18 years old. In addition, they must pass a background check and sign some forms (below).
We have multiple volunteer opportunities, not just as a “Pilot” (who pedals the adaptive bikes), or as a “Safety” (who rides on his/her own bicycle to warn of hazards and to control cross traffic), but we also need administrative help.
