Watchtree Wheelers
Watchtree Wheelers offer inclusive cycling sessions for people of all ages and all abilities, including those who have particular needs. They have a wide selection of adapted and regular bikes available. Please see CTCs guide to adapted cycles for more details on their usage.
Watchtree Wheelers are affiliated to CTC.
They aim to get people on bikes because, as they feel, the simply pleasure of riding a bike is often taken for granted. Their varied programme makes it possible for all people to ride, no matter what obstacles stand in the way and they pride themselves in specialising in equipment, training and facilities for disabled and disadvantaged people. For some, cycling at Watchtree Wheelers has been a life changing experience. For more information please go to the Watchtree Wheelers Website.
