BikeActive

Not quite sure which bike to choose ? Don't worry... we have many and it's very likely at least one of these will work for you...

Firstly, take a look through our different bike categories and the many bikes within each category. The 'Bikes' dropdown menu will enable you to select any bike, with pictures and a description of each. If you find an appropriate bike you feel sure of, then you can go ahead and reserve it !

Still not sure ? ... we have our very own expert in cycling for ALL abilities, click for our CONTACT page and just drop us an email for advice.

BUT... if you've ridden with us before and you already know what works for you, then simply continue and...

On your first visit we will assess your, or your client's cycling needs and match you to a suitable bike.

Some people with a disability want to ride their own bike in the safety of our group. That's no problem and as long as we are satisfied your bike is roadworthy, you are very welcome to do this.

Clients who attend with carers will need to be accompanied by their carers on the ride.
We have low, step over bikes for carers to use, although for carers who are unable to cycle, we can accommodate them on our side-by-side trike, tandems, or tagalongs, so that they can be with their client on the ride.

Each of our rides is conducted as a group. The minor junctions on route are controlled by our lead and rear cycling volunteers. All of our volunteers will wear 'hi-viz' tabards and there are warning signs out on our route to warn the small amount of road traffic of our presence.

All clients and carers will be required to wear a cycle crash helmet, either their own or one belonging to our group. They will also be required to wear a 'hi-viz' tabard, either their own or one which we will supply.

There will be a First Aider and First Aid kit on every ride.

We have a breakdown system to deal with unforeseen mechanical issues and return people to the ride starting point. There is also a phone number for emergencies.

We have an online reservation system for our bikes. After your first visit and once we know what type of cycle you or your client needs, you can then reserve your sessions online.

A voluntary donation of by is requested for each client ride. This helps pay for our third party liability insurance, cycle maintenance and rental of our operating venues. However, we will never turn anyone away due to an inability to pay.

In the case of inclement weather, you can check either here or on our Facebook page to confirm we are running. If we are not running, we will announce cancellations by 8:00am on the day of the ride, both online and by text message to your listed mobile contact number.

If you have a disability that has precluded you from cycling but you'd like to try cycling, get in contact and...
Lets get out cycling !

If you have a family member or a client who you care for, who you think might like to try cycling but cannot do so without support, then come on out and...
Let's go cycling !

If you used to cycle but age, illness or infirmity has stopped you getting out, get in touch and come on out...
Let's get cycling !

As an organisation we want to get people with any disability out cycling; from those with learning disability, learning difficulties and cerebral palsy, to those in stroke recovery, post-operative recovery, people with sight loss, physical disability or age infirmity. We want everyone to enjoy the benefits of cycling. The feeling of the wind in your hair, the sun on your face and the feeling of overwhelming good health that a fun activity so often brings.

Finally and most of all, our volunteers want to help you enjoy cycling...

...so, look at what we do and if it is for you, come and ride with us !
