What we do:
We lend, throughout the UK, at no cost (i.e. for free), tandems and tag-alongs (trailer bikes) to (and only to) people with disabilities or additional needs, who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own, so that they can enjoy the wonders of cycling.
In other words we provide all-ability, adapted, inclusive cycling for adults and children who are disabled, have special needs, SEN, SEND or impairments, such as Autism, Down's Syndrome, visual impairments, learning or physical difficulties etc.

What you need to do:
- Fill in the Contact Form above and someone (probably Alex) will put you in touch with our nearest Volunteer, shown here.

- Send us photos and comments for us to publish on here and elsewhere.
- Return the bike in a fit state to the Volunteer at the end of your hire for the next people to ride straight away.
