Cycling for Young People with SEND

Cycling can help young people with SEND build confidence, improve their health, make friends and travel more independently.

Many organisations offer inclusive cycling sessions where you can try different types of bikes, including adapted cycles. Staff and volunteers are on hand to help you find the right bike and build your cycling skills.
