  Luke D. asked:

  I received a message from a physio friend of mine who's after some advice. Anything I can pass on to her would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys. 'Hi Luke can I pick your brains about bikes? I have a client who wants to start cycling - possibly hand cycling or maybe power assisted lower limb or the option to be active lower limb or power assisted. She has asked me to help her choose a suitable one but I have no idea! She has cerebral palsy so has restricted use of her lower limbs.can you recommend any particular companies that might be able to bring some bikes for her to try or places where she can go to try some out? Cheers in advance!'

  My advice would always to contact her nearest inclusive cycling group (if near London do give her Wheels for Wellbeing's contact details (www.wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk or 020 8674 8761 and we will point her in the right direction) or look on www.cyclingprojects.org.uk for outside London & especially North of England. There are some great suppliers out there but inevitably they will advise in line with what they sell. Best to try out lots of options, get support from experienced instructors & speak to other disabled cyclists (all of whom you should find at any self-respecting scheme). Sent from my iPad
