All ability cycling club

Our drop-in all-ability cycling clubs are designed for people with learning, physical and/or sensory disabilities to enjoy cycling on a range of adapted bikes, including single/tandem tricycles, side-by-side cycles for two or more people, wheelchair platform cycles and go-kart style recumbent cycles.

Our all-ability clubs are a social and friendly place where you can meet the same people time after time. After being shown how to use the cycles by our volunteers and staff, attendees are free to cycle around the park or green space with their friends, family or carer.

The clubs run from Little Wormwood Scrubs on Fridays from 9.30am to 2.30pm and alternate Saturdays from 9.30am to 12.30pm. On Fridays at 1pm there is a guided ride around the local parks and quiet routes. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
