Sequim Wheelers, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides outdoor adapted biking fun for people who cannot ride a bike by themselves but would love to go for a ride, hosts an open house set for 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, in the parking lot of the Dungeness River Nature Center, 1943 W. Hendrickson Road.

It’s the Wheelers’ annual call for potential volunteers to come out to see the adaptive bikes they use and talk with current volunteers.

The group works with local retirement and rehabilitation facilities along with other nonprofits for free-of-charge, hour-long rides offered Monday through Saturday, and also has a Book-a-Ride program for physically challenged people living at home who would like a safe and friendly outdoors experience.

An orientation meeting for new volunteers at 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, at the Dungeness River Nature Center’s Raven Room, where the Wheelers describe the training sessions new volunteers will need to attend and provide the training syllabus for the 2024 adaptive bike riding season.
