Useful Organisations

Looking for something fun to do? Looking for some support? This is our growing directory of organizations that may be useful to you.

Bikeworks

Bikeworks believes that cycling should be accessible and possible for everyone, regardless of age, disability or experience and to enable this run All Ability Cycling Clubs. The clubs are open to all and have a range of adapted cycles including tandem tricycles, side-by-side and platform tricycles.

The charity runs clubs in three different locations, so there is provision across London at a time which will hopefully work for you. They also run improver sessions for people who want to take their cycling a bit more seriously. The clubs are completely free and open to anyone.
