The Atwal-Brice family are renowned for their work in both the disability and LGBTQIA+ community visited the Get Cycling showroom in York today to trial some inclusive cycles ahead of their Superhero Series triathlon this summer.
The family were amongst the first customers to trial the brand-new demo area that has recently been installed within the cycle shop. They also took the cycles out for a test ride around the local area to make sure they were all set up correctly and ready for the boys to get training for their upcoming triathlon.
The boys are at their most content when out on the cycles, so having some that suit the families needs are so important to their everyday life.
Get Cycling have the widest and most interesting range of cycles available in the UK, working with only the best manufacturers and suppliers of specialist and conventional cycles throughout the world and can source or create almost any kind of adaption imaginable.
The family, as well as the team from Get Cycling, are working hard to raise awareness of the importance of making everyday things, like cycling, accessible for all, and ensuring everybody no matter what is made to feel included.
Michael Atwal-Brice said; ‘We need to celebrate and promote places like Get Cycling that incorporate inclusion and accessibility of things other families may take for granted. We get asked so many times where the boys bikes are from, and when out and about with them we often notice people staring, not at their disabilities, but at the joy and happiness the bikes bring them!’
