Cycling For All

Companion Cycling is a scheme which enables people who are unable to ride “solo” cycles for whatever reason, to enjoy the pleasure of cycling with a companion in the delightful and traffic free surroundings of Bushy Park, adjacent to Hampton Court in South West London.Anyone, whatever their ability or mobility, can become a cyclist using one of our special cyclesand with the aid of a “pilot” who might be a carer, a friend, a family member or one of our volunteers.Our wide variety of special cycles are carefully selected to enable people to ride whatever their ability. These range from side-by-side pedal cycles suited to those with good mobility but limited co-ordination, through to a wheelchair ‘rickshaw’ suited to riders with severe mobility problems. In addition we have a range of tricycles with added safety features, a tandem and various conventional bicycles for accompanying riders. Our volunteers will help you to choose the cycle which is most suited to your needs, and will familiarise new riders and pilots with the cycles and the routes around the park.
