On 30 October Wheels 4 Fun disability cycling group is running a Big Bike Revival ride in Roundhay park from 11AM to 3 PM as part of Cycling UK’s Big Bike Revival initiative which has been running this year.
The ride is aimed at people who are not able to ride normal bikes due to disability. We want to give our riders the opportunity to ride in a different location and possibly to raise some sponsorship for Wheels 4 Fun by riding short circuits in the park.
We also hope to raise the profile of Wheels 4 Fun and give new people the opportunity to try our bikes. We have been granted permission by Leeds City council to use the Leeds Cycling Campaign gazebo giving publicity to the group as well.
The day presents us with some challenges and this an appeal for assistance from anyone who might be able to give us a hand with any of the following things:
- Help with transporting equipment or bikes from Meanwood farm to the park and back (or riding tricycles / tandems!) A van / estate car / trailer would be ideal but most things will fit in the back of a of a reasonable size hatchback
- Assistance setting up and / or manning the stand on the day and even better with transporting it to / from the venue
- Helping out with supporting riders on the day which may include riding or walking with people on the route if they need accompanying. It wouldn’t need to be for the whole day and there will always be experienced staff there to give advice and deal with any problems.
- Loan of a portable table and ideally delivery if possible!
- Loan of portable chairs and ideally delivery if possible!
If anyone is able to offer any assistance, please contact Trish on 01132695028 or at trishcunnison@gmail.com
Many thanks
