A not-for-profit club for the disabled will launch a hub for children and adults who cannot ride an ordinary bicycle to experience the joy of cycling.

Cycle Power will launch its assisted cycling hub in Dolgellau, Wales this Easter.

The hub will enable children and adults who cannot ride an ordinary bicycle to experience the joy of cycling an adaptive bike along the traffic free Mawddach Trail.

The importance of keeping vulnerable cyclists and members of the public safe is vitally important to the success of Cycle Power Dolgellau.

Cycle Power volunteer, Joe Patton, explained more about the club: “Cycle Power is not a club for the able-bodied. If you or a member of your family or someone you care for has physical or learning difficulties that makes it difficult to ride an ordinary bike, we have a selection of tricycles, recumbent, side-by-side bicycles and a wheelchair carrier that may enable you to enjoy cycling along the stunning Mawddach trail.

“From my experience of volunteering at Plas Menai, I know that once people have their first bicycle ride it is a journey of discovery; people discover these bicycles are very comfortable and easy to ride.

“The pleasure to effortlessly cycle allows people enjoy the simple pleasures of fresh air, beautiful scenery and a refreshment destination.

“This makes our club rides a great family occasion and at just £4 a session most first-timers become regular attenders.”
