Document summary
etween August 2019 and January 2020, Wheels for Wellbeing carried out its third annual survey of the views and experiences of Disabled cyclists. Just over two hundred (213) Disabled cyclists took part. This survey is, to our knowledge, the only national survey of its kind provides a vital insight into the lived experience of the Disabled cycling community. For a third year running, Disabled cyclists identified the same three top barriers to cycling (in this order): inaccessible cycling infrastructure; the prohibitive cost of adaptive cycles (and lack of local inclusive cycling opportunities) and the absence of legal recognition of the fact that cycles are mobility aids for many Disabled people (on a par with wheelchairs or mobility scooters) . Over three-quarters of respondents indicated that they had experienced difficulties in accessing cycling.
