EcoLocal’s Inclusive Cycling project offers cycling to everyone. Our adapted

bikes and two wheelers enable everyone (aged 16+) to experience cycling in a

safe and supportive place…..whether it is on two, three or four wheels!

Our specially adapted bikes, in addition to traditional cycles, mean that everyone can have a go - including people with disabilities, those recovering from injury and people who might not own a bike themselves. We have recently been awarded a grant to increase our range of cycles so that a many more people have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the benefits of cycling!
