Wheels for All is a national inclusive cycling programme developed by Cycling Projects which enables disabled people, people with additional needs or health conditions to have fun cycling.

We have a range of adapted cycles such as tricycles, handcycles and two-seaters; we try to find something for everyone. People usually come with a support worker or family member, but some come on their own. Our sessions run on Tuesday and Saturday mornings at Harrow Civic Centre, and we hope to expand.

What Does a Wheels for All Volunteer Do?

• Set up sessions including moving cycles from container to track and clearing any rubbish
• Check cycles are in good order
• Greet riders and ensure forms are completed
• Support riders to fit helmets and choose the right cycle
• Cycle or walk along with riders
• Develop a rapport and encourage riders
• Liaise with session leader on cycle use
• Pack up and put away cycles
• Provide feedback to leader on riders’ progress and enjoyment

This is a voluntary role and is unpaid, but it’s fun and very rewarding.
