Jason’s Wheels Community Trust

By using specially adapted cycles, a child with special needs, goes far beyond having fun and creating priceless memories. Bike riding helps them to grow physically, mentally and emotionally.

Movement is crucial for cognitive development. For children with special needs, this movement component may be more difficult. If possible, it is imperative that a child is offered some way to independently move and explore.

Riding a cycle is an activity for all ages and isn’t dependent on being able bodied, it provides a sense of accomplishment, purpose and success for every rider. Adaptive cycles are a wonderful addition for an active outdoors family, because it truly allows for everyone to be included. Why should families be split, or part of the family stay at home, because they can’t source that specially adapted cycle.

Now the main restrictions when it comes to specially adapted cycles are the inflated cost, in comparison to off the shelf cycles. Access to adapted cycles is again extremely difficult, whether your looking to hire one or buy one, as every child has their own requirements.
