Looking for cycling activities for disabled children in York? Cycling can be a brilliant way for families to spend time outdoors, stay active and enjoy an adventure together.

However, not every child can comfortably use a standard two-wheel cycle. The good news is that there are lots of other ways to enjoy cycling.

At Get Cycling CIC in York, we have a wide range of specialist cycles for children and families, including children’s tricycles, handcycles and tandems.

At Get Cycling CIC, we offer inclusive cycle hire for all ages and abilities. Our shop is close to Rowntree Park in Fulford. It links easily to traffic-free routes and the National Cycle Network, including Route 66.

As a result, it is a great starting point for relaxed family rides.

Inclusive family cycle options

We no longer hire standard two-wheel bikes. Instead, we focus on stable and accessible cycles that support more people to ride together.

Our family cycle hire includes:

Tandems for two adults, or an adult and child
Kids trikes for younger riders who need extra stability
Handcycles for riders using arm power
Adaptive cycles for people with additional support needs
Cargo-style options for carrying equipment or belongings

These cycles help families ride together safely and comfortably.
