The Disability Trust CycleAbility - Accessible Cycling For All Despite how important cycling is for the mobility of people with disabilities, very little information or opportunities exist for people with disability to experience cycling. The Disability Trust's new CycleAbility program aims to see more people with a disability experience the positive benefits of riding bikes.

Given that cycling is becoming an increasingly popular mode of transport,  it is important to provide opportunities for people with a disability to experience the fun and benefits of cycling, in a fun, safe environment, which is what CycleAbility is all about.

The CycleAbility program focuses on having fun, developing riding and safety skills, and learning basic bicycle maintenance and repairs, to increase mobility.
