Cycling with Confidence at Longford Park!
Our parkride Cycling with Confidence sessions at Longford Park, Coventry, have been a fantastic way for people with learning disabilities to gain independence, enjoy the outdoors, and build confidence cycling.
With accessible bikes, a supportive atmosphere created by the team, and plenty of fresh air, these sessions are all about having fun while learning new skills.
Building Skills & Confidence
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen incredible progress from participants like Simon and Bridget, who started with different levels of experience but both grew in confidence and ability.
Simon was already familiar with cycling but needed support to improve his endurance and control. In just three sessions, he went from cycling with assistance to riding independently, doubling his distance each time and exploring more of the park!
Bridget was hesitant at first and needed encouragement, but with patience and the right support, she learned to pedal confidently on a tandem bike. By the third session, she had doubled her distance and embraced the experience!
Why These Sessions Matter
These sessions are inclusive and accessible, allowing everyone to participate using adaptive bikes, regardless of ability.
They also help build independence, giving participants a sense of control and confidence in their cycling skills.
It is more than just riding a bike, these sessions are fun and social, creating opportunities to make new friends, enjoy the fresh air, and celebrate personal achievements in a supportive environment.
