It is not often that I get the opportunity to go cycling with my son. The conditions need to be flat and safe for a start – with no traffic.
PedalPower is an inclusive cycle club for learning disabled people of all ages and all abilities.
Jo’s daughter is a really good cyclist who happens to be learning disabled. Jo was looking for a cycle club for a daughter to go to. When Jo could not find a cycle club for her daughter, she set one up herself!
Set up in 2004 with 2 people, PedalPower has helped over 2,000 people over 17 years.
PedalPower have sessions at Finsbury Park, Emirates and New River Athletics Track
You can find out about PedalPower and make a booking on their website: https://www.pedalpowercc.org/
At Finsbury Park they also have a Changing Places which helps make the sessions more inclusive for people with profound and complex needs.
At New River they need to do some CrowdFunding.
