Hello!

We are Healing Rides –

We offer a FREE Community Service to those who long to get outside and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. We serve the aging, people with disabilities, and anyone else unable to bike independently on a beautiful section of the Constitution Trail in Normal Illinois.

Welcome to Healing Rides. Wesley United Methodist Church is excited to bring Healing Rides to the Bloomington-Normal area! We are looking forward to watching individuals enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a way they never imagined.

Take some time to explore our website whether you are looking to take a ride on the OPair Bike Chair, sign-up to be a volunteer pedaler, or to make a donation and sponsor this incredible FREE service for our community. Thank you so much!
