Cycling
With Christmas so near I was reminiscing about my 
favourite Christmas present as a child. It was the bike I received when I was around 9 years old. It was purple, and the feeling I got when riding it was amazing.
I cycled 31 miles on my adult size purple bike to York. I visited Get Cycling who have a totally inclusive ethos and believe that anyone should have the option of riding a bike regardless of any ability (or disability) To compliment this they have a range of innovative solutions to enable people.
The adaptations are many and varied. They include magnetic pedals to allow greater connection like a professional cyclist clipping their shoes into their pedals to, low step-through, various options on recumbent bikes and power assist. Here are a few examples with pictures.
many set up options to offer, such as greater seating
support and adapted pedals. The adaptation enables the option of both people being able
to pedal or for one to be able to take a rest.
The wheelchair on the bike pictured below can be attached or unhitched and used separately. This means it is a useful form of transport allowing the wheelchair users to experience the wind in their face
Of course, I couldn’t resist a try on a tricycle. It was harder than it looked! As a 2 wheeled bike rider getting the hang of 3 wheels was a challenge!
