Objectives

We are an all inclusive cycling organisation where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can ride bikes of many adaptations in a safe environment. We run Mixed Ability sessions at a local athletics track twice a week where anyone can attend and use our many adapted bikes including ones that can carry a wheelchair ,adult trikes ,hand propelled bikes and one 2 people can ride..We run a Womens only ride on the Greenway (disused but tarmacked railway  line) on a Tuesday and a family ride on a Saturday.We have a workshop too where we accept unwanted bikes and recycle them and distribute them back into the community where they are most needed. We work with people with physical and mental disabilities and BME and Asylum seekers and refugees.

Activities

Run Mixed Ability cycling sessions twice a week on a track and charge £4 to help cover costs.We also ask for  donations for recycled bikes from people who can afford. We employ staff to run both sites and rely heavily on volunteers
