Can we help someone like you?
Yes, we can.
We fit bikes and trikes for children and adults who need them set up differently, and we adjust every one to the person riding it.
If you're not sure riding is possible for you or your child, that's exactly the conversation to have with us. It starts with a chat. There's no pressure and nothing to buy.

The range
8 to 10 core bikes. Every one fitted to its rider.
Once it's adjusted, each one is practically a one-off. That's why there's no checkout here: we start with a conversation, not a basket.

How it works
Three steps, at your pace.
-
Conversation
Tell us about the rider in your own words, by email or in the shop. You don't need the right terms, and there's no such thing as a daft question.
-
Fitting
The rider comes in and we set the bike up around them, adjusting as we go until it's right. Take as long as you need.
-
Riding
The part that matters. Time on the bike, at the rider's own pace.
Working with professionals, and help with funding
For therapists, OTs and schools
Working alongside you
We work with therapists, occupational therapists and schools as well as families. If you support a rider, you're welcome to get in touch on their behalf, or to come along to the conversation with them.
Bring whatever detail you have about what the rider needs, and we'll talk it through together.
Help with funding
Finding a way to pay for it
We work with families, charities, schools and health or social work budgets, case by case, to find a funding route.
Every situation is different, so we'll look at yours with you. Just mention funding when you get in touch.
