Paralympic boost to cycling – as seen in the Guardian!
This great piece in the Guardian talks about all the things we’re finding at You Can Bike Too:
- how incredibly flexible the bike is when it comes to catering for all kinds of abilities in fact, we have found that our bikes are great for people who just aren’t that confident about cycling
- trikes work really well for those whose balance makes using a traditional bike difficult
- riders with disabilities and able bodied cyclists can and often do ride together at club and coaching sessions
It’s great to see our supporter Ian Tierney quoted in the article too! Without Wheels for All Cycling Projects, we wouldn’t have come this far. Don’t forget you can come and try these bikes for yourselves! There are two options:
– Weekend family sessions for mums and dads to cycle with their kids – see here for full details
– Week-day adult sessions for any individuals who wants to give cycling a go – see here for full details
We look forward to seeing you there! And we’re pleased to report that so far, these sessions have been rain-free – though it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.
We think it’s great that the paralympics are having such a positive effect and getting more people interested in cycling. How have the paralympics influenced your view of the world? What did you learn?
