New and inclusive cycling sessions are starting in May at York Sport Village. A full range of adapted bicycles will be on hand so that everyone will be able to enjoy the one-kilometre track, whatever their age, experience or ability.

The sessions are particularly suitable for those living with a disability or long-term medical condition or older adults who enjoy a slower pace of ride.

 

There will be three sessions every week and participants can just turn up to any or to all:

· Every Wednesday 5pm to 6.30pm, starting 14 May

· Thursdays 1.30pm to 3.30pm, starting 15 May

· Sundays 12noon to 2pm, starting 18 May.

Purchase of the bikes has been made possible through a contribution by Sport England from the Get Equipped Fund. The range has been carefully selected and includes tricycles, tandem tricycles, handcycles, wheelchair transporters, rear steer tandems and twinbike social tandems to enable as many people as possible to take part.

The cost of the session £5 per person per hour, includes use of the adapted bikes and carers can take part free of charge.
