Atwal-Brice Family Visit Get Cycling
In celebration of Disability Pride Month, we are excited to announce we are working with the Atwal-Brice family and their autistic sons to find them the perfect cycles!
The Atwal-Brice family are renowned for their work in both the disability and LGBTQIA+ community visited the Get Cycling showroom in York to trial some inclusive cycles ahead of their Superhero Series triathlon this summer.
We were so excited to finally meet this incredible family – we worked with them earlier this year as we sponsored the second season of Diffability, a Dadsnet podcast.
The podcast is led by dads Paul & Michael and follows their challenging journey of raising their identical twin teenage sons Levi and Lucas. They also have identical toddler twins, Lance and Lotan! The podcast covers a wide range of topics and features special guests to help others understand more about children’s ‘diffabilities’.
The family were amongst the first customers to trial our brand-new demo area that has recently been installed within our cycle shop. They also took the cycles out for a test ride around the local area to make sure they were all set up correctly and ready for the boys to get training for their upcoming triathlon.
The boys are at their most content when out on the cycles, so having some that suit the family’s needs are so important to their everyday life.
The family, as well as the team from Get Cycling, are working hard to raise awareness of the importance of making everyday things, like cycling, accessible for all, and ensuring everybody no matter what is made to feel included.
“We need to celebrate and promote places like Get Cycling that incorporate inclusion and accessibility of things other families may take for granted. We get asked so many times where the boys’ bikes are from, and when out and about with them we often notice people staring, not at their disabilities, but at the joy and happiness the bikes bring them!“
