Formerly known as Bike Life, this is the UK's biggest ever study of walking, wheeling and cycling.

Our trained volunteers take elderly and less able people out on rides on our pioneering Trishaws to let them enjoy the outdoors. We’ll talk about what they did in their younger days or which part of the city that they lived in. It’s really satisfying and fulfilling to be able to do that.
We can carry up to six passengers in our two trishaws and two wheelchair bikes. We work with about 12 care homes across the city. Very few of the routes that we go on have cycle paths. We need more cycle lanes and to put them in the right places.
