British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society (BCMOS) is a not-for-profit organization that enables people with disabilities in Vancouver, Canada, to explore the outdoors. Activities include hiking and gliding. ==Activities== BCMOS was founded by quadriplegic Sam Sullivan in 1985 to make it possible for people with disabilities to access the outdoors. Activities range from day hikes to challenging treks.〔http://www.bcmos.org/ British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society website, Retrieved February 8, 2010.〕 Since 1995, the centerpiece of BCMOS programs has been the TrailRider, a specially designed wilderness access vehicle. With one wheel, and “sherpas” back and front, the TrailRider has been likened to a cross between a wheelbarrow and a rickshaw. Yet it has twice summited Kilimanjaro,〔(''B.C. quadriplegic conquers Kilimanjaro'' ) ''Globe & Mail,'' August 21, 2002〕 twice reached Everest Base Camp,〔http://www.riseabovebarriers.com/ Rise Above Barriers Society website, Retrieved February 8, 2010.〕 and enabled thousands of day trips and family outings.〔(Extreme Hikes ) Retrieved February 8, 2010.〕 BCMOS runs a seasonal hiking program, offers gliding and makes TrailRiders available for rental, year round. In addition, more than 30 other programs across Canada and the US now make use of the TrailRider.〔http://www.bcmos.org/trailrider_north_america.php British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society website, Retrieved February 8, 2010.〕
