Our Work Changing Sports Cycling Cycling is a life-skill that can enhance an individual's health and wellbeing, as well as their local community. We believe every young person should have: Access to a bike The skills and confidence to use it Somewhere local, safe and exciting to enjoy riding. However...1 78% of disabled people never cycle 76% of women never cycle 75% of people at risk of deprivation never cycle 74% of people from ethnic minorities never cycle Only 2% of all children cycle to school What are we doing about this? Facilities - We build exciting, accessible, and inclusive places to ride that are accessible to underserved communities and are free to use, with equipment on-site Community outreach - We deliver specialist cycle training and Bikeability to inactive, disadvantaged and disabled young people in local schools Clubs - We empower local people to create cycling communities by developing regular and inclusive access to equipment and training. This includes our club inclusion products which enable clubs to cater for specific demographic groups who are least likely to feel welcome, including disability inclusion sessions (Wingz) and female inclusion sessions (BMXercise). We are committed to collaborating with partners across the cycling eco-system with a sport, recreation, or travel focus, as we recognise that our expertise in making cycling exciting and accessible for disadvantaged and disabled young people, can complement the work of all these partners. Our inclusive cycling offer wouldn’t be possible without the support of our partners, with particular thanks to Sport England, The London Marathon Foundation and British Cycling.
