An acquaintance of mine has asked me to post this.
If anyone has ideas, please contact him directly at:
bobmatter@attbi.com
He has a website at:
www.assistedcyclingtours.org.
Thanks as ever.
"I was wondering if I could solicit some advice.
I'm in the process of starting a non-profit entity designed to promote
cycling tours for people with disabilities and their families. I'm leaning
toward the people with developmental disabilities. As the father of a 12
year old with various disabilities, I got him into cycling last year and
have never been able to find suitable recreational activities that we could
do together (thus the birth of this idea).
Would you have any advice on getting the business up and running (e.g.
liability insurance) and whether the idea is feasible? We live in Colorado,
and the trips are going to be mostly 2-4 day tours of 20-30 miles on
adaptive tandems over flat terrain. I'm planning on starting day trips the
first week of June followed by weekend longer tours the same month. By the
second year, I plan on offering week long tours within and outside of the
state of Colorado.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
