Share:

Cycling Projects is a North West charity with a national network, that aims to make cycling accessible to everyone.

The charity’s Wheels for All programme supports disabled people by providing a range of adapted cycles at regular sessions and the Pedal Away programme brings people together to deliver health and social benefits.

Cycling Projects annual Great Pedal Away festival 2019 will take place on Sunday 22nd September at Aintree Racecourse. This year the event will be bigger and better than ever; there is a 40+ mile challenge for regular cyclists and fundraisers, a 17+ mile ‘light’ ride, an under 8s ride, a family social ride, a Wheels for All disability cycling session, a ditch your stabilisers workshop and a Step Out for Stroke Walk, so something for everyone, and opportunity for local organisations and individuals to get involved.

This community cycling festival has been set up to engage all members of the community and give them a fantastic opportunity to try out bikes, improve their health, meet other people and local organisations, learn to ride a bike and raise funds to make cycling accessible for everyone.
