Louise is in a care home and was first brought to Pedal Power by her carer to keep her active as her health and physical agility began to decline. Louise is now a wheelchair user, so her husband Richard continues the weekly sessions using the e-velo, our wheelchair accessible cargo trike - he told us that they had enjoyed cycling standard cycles, and now the e-velo enables them to continue to enjoy cycling, keep fit and enjoy the freedom, fresh air, and views of the river.

And it’s become a family affair! Having had some training from our experienced staff, their daughter, Elizabeth is now able to join her parents on the weekly cycle rides with her young family, using our Raleigh e-cargo cycle, enabling three generations to cycle together (rain or shine)!

“I was a tad nervous to use the cargo bike at first, but with instruction from the wonderful staff at Pedal Power I was able to start slowly and learn to ride the cycle with ease and I have never looked back. I have two small children aged five and two and a dog, plus my 68-year-old dad and my mum in a wheelchair and we are able to all ride together as a family which is incredible. We love the staff, the community, the joy we get from coming here has helped us immensely.”
