Adapted Cycling Centre to be unveiled at Open Evening

East Staffordshire Borough Council will officially unveil its new Adapted Cycling Centre at an open evening on Friday 30 August at Shobnall Leisure Complex.

Following a successful grant of £79,074 from Staffordshire County Council’s Aiming High Capital Fund the new Adapted Cycling Centre will be home to 16 adapted and 16 non adapted cycles, which will be available for local residents to use around Shobnall Leisure Complex grounds.

The open evening to be held between 5.00pm and 7.00pm will give residents the chance to simply turn up and ‘have a go’ with an opportunity to learn how to safely use the adapted cycles, whilst finding out more about cycling across East Staffordshire.

The facility will provide an ongoing infrastructure to provide disabled cycling to families in East Staffordshire and will build upon the success of East Staffordshire Borough Council’s partnership with British Cycling in providing Sky Ride Local Events this summer. 

Sky Ride Local bike rides in East Staffordshire are the perfect opportunity for the whole family to get together and take part in fun, community rides and explore the local area. All rides are organised and guided by British Cycling trained Ride Leaders, who are on hand to offer encouragement and support throughout. There are rides for all ages with different levels available from easygoing to more challenging rides.

Check out our ‘Ride Finder’ at the top of the page to find a ride near you.
