Lead by our specialised team, Network Wheels is a fantastic session which offers access to 2 wheeler bikes, trikes, side by sides, wheelchair bikes and other bikes with adaptations added to them. So, no matter what the disability we are able to assess what bike is comfortable for the individual, so they can get active. The majority of individuals come with carers or parent/guardians and can take part in the session together.

We also have an outside cycle skills area which can be accessed in nicer weather as long as helmets are worn. All participants need to be accompanied by an responsible adult whilst outside. This session is great for physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
