York Sport Village cycle circuit championed inclusive and accessible cycling recently by co-hosting an event with Jorvik Tricycles to provide a safe space to cycle for those less able.
People of all abilities from across Yorkshire tested out three tricycles donated by Jorvik Tricycles as part of its ‘10 trikes for 10th year’ giveaway, alongside the other models in the 16-strong Jorvik range.
“It’s been fantastic to mark our 10-year anniversary by giving back to communities across the UK and helping people of all abilities to enjoy the benefits of cycling - a business goal that we’ve been focused on since Jorvik Tricycles first began,” said James Walker, CEO and founder.
“I always wanted to finish our '10 trikes for 10th year’ initiative in our hometown of York and give back to a local organisation. Once I saw the incredible work York Sport were doing, I had to get onboard to support their mission.
“It was so rewarding to see so many people enjoying the Jorvik tricycles and the freedom of having somewhere safe and accessible to cycle. We look forward to working with York Sport in the future, continuing to help make cycling accessible for all.”
None of the attendees had their own tricycle or bike at home, so the inclusive session provided them one-to-one time with brand representatives, bespoke demonstrations and an opportunity to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of exercise.
“It's been fantastic to have Jorvik Tricycles down at York Sport Village cycle circuit,” said Richard Orr, Business Manager at York Sport.
“It was great to see the different types of tricycles they provide as well as showcasing the three trikes that Jorvik have donated to us as part of its 10th anniversary.”
Based at York Sport Village, York Sport has been coordinating inclusive cycling sessions on a one-kilometre track since 2013, providing an enclosed and safe place for local people of all abilities to enjoy the benefits of cycling.
