Free inclusive cycling taster sessions for Swindon SEND schools and community groups

Monthly column with Becky Cox of Swindon Cycle Campaign

At Moredon Sporting Hub we aim to provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy cycling. 

For some people this is having the support from a friendly and knowledgeable coach to help them learn to ride a bike, sometimes it’s having the traffic-free enclosed track to make it safe, and sometimes it’s having the right bike or equipment. 

We’ve been running a wide range of inclusive cycling sessions since we opened in July 2024. 

Since then, we’ve helped teach over 1000 children and 80 adults to ride a bicycle and we help over 100 disabled people per week enjoy inclusive cycling.

This autumn we are offering FREE inclusive cycling taster sessions for groups of adults or young people with disabilities. 

This could be a local school group or community group. We have a fleet of over 30 adapted cycles, suitable for children from aged five right up to adults. 

These include recumbent trikes, handcycles, tandems, upright trikes and even a wheelchair-carrying trike. 

We have friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers, and a 1.2km traffic-free enclosed track to enjoy cycling on. There’s also toilet and café facilities on site.

So if you know a school or community group who might be interested in finding out more, please ask them to get in touch with me (Becky Cox) by emailing [email protected] or phoning 07515606704. The free sessions are made possible thanks to grant funding from British Cycling’s Limitless project.
