Dasher has declared she will be “the brightest thing in Didcot on Thursday,” and Powerhouse is refusing to be out‑shone.
They are both getting dressed up in their glow gear and feeling very proud of themselves.

They would love to know… who is coming to admire their glow‑up on Thursday at 18:45?

🌞🚲 A wonderful morning with MyVision Oxfordshire! 🚲🌞

Today was our very first meet‑up with MyVision at the Cornerstone Arts Centre, and what a beautiful start to the day it was. We met some truly lovely people and enjoyed giving a few demonstration rides around town — gentle, friendly, and full of smiles.

Volunteers Amy and Claire had the best time meeting everyone, and we were especially excited to meet Sally and the absolute star of the morning… Sorer the guide dog. He was the sweetest passenger, sitting proudly and taking it all in.

A huge thank‑you to Pets Corner, who kindly gifted Sorer a little treat for being such a good boy.

We are really looking forward to offering more rides across Oxfordshire over the coming months — new faces, new friendships, and more moments that make our wheels smile.

If you would like to book a ride, volunteer, or support us, we would love to welcome you.

🚲💛 A lovely Sunday spin for Dasher! 💛🚲

Today Dasher was out with pilot Graeme, they went from Valerian Court Care Home, and enjoyed a gentle mother‑and‑daughter ride with Cindy and Julie.

Cindy absolutely loved experiencing something new with her mum — the fresh air, the calm pace, the chance to share a moment that felt a little bit magical. And Julie? She was in her element feeding the ducks at Ladygrove Lakes, smiling away as they waddled over for their treats.

Simple joys, shared moments, and a beautiful ride together.
Dasher’s wheels are still smiling. 💛❤️

🎄✨ Dasher has something very exciting to share… ✨🎄

She is officially thinking about Christmas, and her little handlebars are practically jingling with joy. She’s been very busy writing a list for herself, her friends and her cosy home — and between us, I think her list is going to keep growwwwwing as she keeps peeking at her Amazon page…

If you think she’s been a good girl this year (and she truly has), you’re very welcome to support her with a little gift. Every treat helps her stay warm, bright and ready to bring joy to our lovely Didcot community.

Dasher is already dreaming in twinkly lights and festive sparkle. 💛❤️

Dasher has had the best day — two fabulous rides and a whole lot of woodland magic. 💛❤️

The morning began with a chilly start, but that didn’t stop her from heading out with a wonderful father–daughter duo visiting from Sussex: Douglas and Lindsey. They enjoyed a peaceful wander through Millennium Woods, listening to birds, spotting movement in the branches, and soaking up the quiet calm of the trees.

Then it was straight into a back‑to‑back ride from Valerian Court Care Home, with another father–daughter pair: John and Tracey. By then the day had warmed beautifully, and Millennium Woods felt soft and golden. They loved their gentle ride — and Dasher decided it was the perfect moment to play a cheeky game of hide‑and‑seek with Whistling Wendy, who was weaving through the trees with her usual mischief and melody.

Two rides, two families, one woodland full of whispers and birdsong. A perfect day for Dasher. 🌿✨

And if you’ve ever thought about joining our volunteer crew, we have a training session tomorrow at 17:15hrs — you’re very welcome to come along and see what it’s all about, message us for more details.

If you’d like to help keep us rolling, glowing and bringing joy to our community, you can support us through a donation — every little bit keeps the wheels turning 🌟

Dasher and Powerhouse are still smiling from this afternoon 💛❤️

The sunshine was out in full kindness as the two of them trundled over to OSJCT The Meadows to pick up their lovely regulars: Rosemary, Gordon and Maggie. There’s something special about seeing familiar faces light up when the trishaws arrive, and today had that gentle sparkle from the very start.

They set off on a brand‑new route, rolling through the warm autumn light all the way to Millennium Woods. The trees were whispering, the birds were busy telling their stories, the squirrels were nosing around and everyone took a moment to pause, listen, breathe — and in Rosemary’s case, offer a proper tree hug or two. We also spotted bat boxes.

Gordon pointed out birds darting between branches, Maggie soaked up the stillness, and Dasher and Powerhouse felt proud to carry such joy into the woods.

A beautiful afternoon of sunshine, friendship, and woodland magic. 🌿✨

Busy morning? Why not join us for a cuppa and slice of cake on Tuesday 22 September between 10am and 2pm.

As it is for a good cause, Macmillan Cancer Support, we’ve heard the calories don’t count* 🍰 🫖



*Actual calories may still count, but the smugness outweighs them... possibly.
