This event is open to everyone, no matter their limitations, and would be especially beneficial for individuals who find it easier to cycle than walk! This event has been organised in partnership with Wheels for Wellbeing, a charity who have worked with thousands of Disabled children and adults who face barriers to taking part in any physical activity and have shown that anyone can enjoy cycling, given the right equipment, support and environment.
People without disabilities are also very welcome!
If you need an adapted bike for this event, Wheels for Wellbeing can provide the cycling equipment you require. You’ll need to contact them in advance to arrange a suitable bicycle that works for you. Please contact them to arrange this at mark@wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk or 0207 346 8482 as soon as possible.
Tickets are £5 per attendee for working adults or £2.50 if you are not working, over 60 or under 15. We want this event to be accessible to all so if that payment a barrier to you attending, please email anna@cprelondon.org.uk
Places for many of our events are limited so book soon to avoid disappointment!
