Inclusive Cycling for All Ages

Gateway Wheelers’ diverse fleet of accessible cycles includes go-karts, trikes, bucket seat bike, wheelchair bike, tandem, KMC trikes, e-trikes and much more. This enables individuals of all ages and abilities to participate in cycling. For many members with long-term disabilities, the charity provides the only opportunity to exercise outdoors, helping combat social isolation, inactivity, and mental health challenges. 

Creating Positive Impact

• Accessible Activities: By tailoring cycling opportunities to each individual’s needs, the charity empowers members to enjoy outdoor exercise in a supportive environment.
• Combatting Isolation: Many participants face barriers to accessing physical activity or social spaces, and Gateway Wheelers offers a vital outlet for connection and recreation.
• Regular Use: So far this year, Gateway Wheelers’ fleet has been used over 2,000 times, highlighting the importance and demand for the services provided.
