KUNR's Michelle Bliss stopped by a warehouse in Reno on Friday--but this was no regular warehouse. Instead, the space has been used all this week to help kids with disabilities like Down syndrome and autism learn how to ride a bicycle on their own. On location, she spoke to Diana Rovetti, the president of the local Down Sydrome Network, along with Paul Rinaldi, whose son Peter learned how to ride.
