Hopping on a bike is something most kids take for granted, but for children with physical and intellectual disabilities the experience of cycling isn’t as simple. Some children require additional guidance, a safer learning environment, help to develop the confidence to get cycling or access to adapted vehicles to accommodate physical needs.

The Active Travel unit has been running Learn 2 Cycle courses since 2022 and have now completed more than 20 courses in locations around Fingal. Children learn to cycle supervised and aided by trained instructors, along with their peers and have the chance to try out adapted cycles. It is a transformative opportunity for these brilliant kids who love having the chance to have fun while learning to cycle. Here are just a handful of our amazing course graduates! See https://www.fingal.ie/activetravel/mobility/learn2cycle for up-to-date information on upcoming courses. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
