Pembrokeshire bikes booster
A project which enables people of all abilities to get on their bike is holding another taster day this month.
Bike Ability Wales provides everyone with the opportunity of riding a bike by offering a variety of specially designed machines.
First set up in Swansea some years ago the scheme’s organisers now hope to expand into Pembrokeshire.
A first taster day was held in December at the Withybush County Showground in Haverfordwest and was so successful that another day will now be held on Tuesday 16th.
Organised by Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire Greenways and funded by Health Challenge Pembrokeshire, the sessions offer people the chance to try out handcycles, trikes, quadcycles, tandems and wheelchair bikes.
Two sessions will be held on February 16th in Brithdir Hall at the County Showground from 11am to 1pm and from 2pm to 4pm.
The sessions will be informal and give participants the chance to talk to the project officers from Swansea, as well as try out the bikes on offer.
"The taster days are designed to gauge the amount of interest there is in developing this project in our County," said Councillor Huw George. "We would like all people, whatever their abilities, to enjoy the pleasures and health benefits of cycling. Under this scheme everyone can have a go."
