Inclusive cycling club launched in Cumbria

A popular inclusive cycling hub has been relaunched at Cumbria Sports Academy (CSA), Hensingham.

The hub was one of the first projects delivered as part of Cumberland Council’s Coastal Programme, but which had ceased operating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the help of The Outdoor Partnership, Cyclewise, CSA, Wheels for All and a group of volunteers, the council is now in a position to offer inclusive cycling sessions once again.

The first event utilised a range of adapted bikes; from trikes and quads, recumbents and side to sides alongside standard two wheelers.

The programme is funded by central government’s Coastal Communities Fund and Sellafield Ltd’s Six Social Impact multiplied programme.
