Inclusive Cycling
Here at York Sport we encourage all-ability cycling for recreation, sport, and exercise, especially if it’s for fun. Using an adapted bike is a fantastic way for everyone to have fun, gain more independence and enjoy a sense of freedom.
Whatever type of cycle, adaptation or support you need there is likely to be a solution, whether you have a disability, lack balance or want to improve your confidence.
Our fleet of adapted bikes include trikes, tandems, side by side social cycles, hand bikes and trike tandems.
If you are unsure of your needs or have any questions please feel free to contact our Activities Team if you are unsure what is the best bike for you.
1:1 Learn to Ride Sessions
Our 1:1 Learn to Ride sessions will get you riding in no time and follow a simple process in which you will start on a small bike that is suitable for beginners.
Sessions are 60 minutes of fun that will have you riding before you know it! Sessions are progressive and for most people with good balance, they will be riding, steering and braking by the end of it. If you don’t have the balance, you might need two sessions to grasp all the basics.
We can progress these skills in the second session if required depending on how quickly you learn, we aim to master all the basics in their first hour!
Roller Skiing
Qualified Snowsport England instructors from the Yorkshire Dales Cross Country Ski Club hold regular roller ski sessions on our superb York Sport 1km Cycle Circuit every Friday evening and Sunday morning where practice sessions include tuition for all abilities and hire equipment to get you started.
Roller skiing was born from cross country skiing and is often used as the basis of summer training for cross country skiers and offers a low-impact, full body exercise that is great for core body strength.
If you are looking for an enjoyable and healthy new challenge contact Yorkshire Dales Cross Country Ski Club at [email protected] to book onto a roller ski taster session today and the club will send you all of the information you need.
