Wheels for All
Do you know someone who would like to cycle, but finds two-wheelers too hard? Wheels for All, using adapted cycles like trikes and hand cycles, could be the answer. We offer friendly sessions on Tuesday and Saturday mornings for just £5, at Harrow Civic Centre, supported by trained volunteers. Contact our WFA Coordinator Maryanne for details.
