Our Community Cafe

Our café is at the heart of our Pedal Power community and everyone is welcome to come and sit, relax and meet (and make) friends. A registered Warm Space, it serves teas and coffees, freshly made vegetarian food and delicious locally made cakes. The space is relaxed and fully accessible and you can stay as long as you like with no pressure to purchase.

We also run frequent, inclusive events in our café, most are free of charge, exhibit artwork by local artists and hire out the venue for buffets and special events.

Our Workshop

Our skilled mechanics carry out servicing and repairs on standard and accessible cycles. They also refurbish donated used cycles for onward re-sale, reducing waste and generating much needed income for our charity.

Scheduled servicing & repairs

We gratefully accept donated used cycles!

Support Us

Support us and help change lives for the better

Founded in 1996, our mission remains unchanged to this day – to help people to access and enjoy the many pleasures and benefits of cycling, particularly Disabled people and those furthest removed from these benefits due to age, culture and financial reasons. We do this by removing the barriers to cycling that many people face.

Pedal Power receives no core funding. As well as generating our own income, we rely on support from funding bodies, donors, fundraisers and volunteers to deliver and improve our life changing services

What our customers say about us...

"Getting outdoors and cycling around the lovely parks and up the River Taff gives me such a huge mental boost."

Rhys Holmes, Recumbent Trike

This road cycle training was a game changer and really helped me to ditch the car and progress to using my bike to get to work.

"The Tandem group is more fun than I can describe. The people are just lovely! I have to ride a tandem or side-by-side as I'm blind and need a sighted front-rider. I look forward to my cycle ride for the whole fortnight. I have cycled to places I have never been to before. I had never cycled on roads before but have total confidence in the Pedal Power pilots." (Participant)

“We had set criteria, the most important being accessibility for people of different height and experience of cycling, the ability to transport a large volume of a relatively light weight product, maneuverability, delivery in tight urban spaces, and security.”
