Description
What we do:
We lend, throughout the UK, at no cost (i.e. for free), tandems and tag-alongs to (and only to) people with disabilities or additional needs, who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own, so that they can enjoy the wonders of cycling.
What you need to do:
What you need to do:
- Fill in the Contact Form above and someone (probably Alex) will put you in touch with our nearest Volunteer, shown here.
- Arrange with the Volunteer to collect the tandem or tag-along from them.
- Fill in a Borrower's Form and hand it to the Volunteer when you collect the bike. A large print version is available here. Also show the Volunteer some evidence of the disability.
- Have fun riding the bike. Hire is normally two months, but some people end up having them for much longer.
- Send us photos and comments for us to publish on here and elsewhere.
- Return the bike in a fit state to the Volunteer at the end of your hire for the next people to ride straight away.
