Bike For Health

Bike For Health

Sheffield Cycling 4 All is one of several groups which have got together to produce a document explaining how being a bike fan can help you mentally as well as physically.

The local organisation, which comes under Disability Sheffield’s umbrella, has worked in collabaration with Sport For Confidence, Wheels For Wellbeing, Sport England and The Royal Collage Of Occupational Therapists among others to create The Therapeutic Value of Cycling - a resource for healthcare professionals

You can download it here.

Rosemary Hill from SC4A said: “We hope that it will enable occupational therapists and other medical professionals to have the information and confidence to support disabled people and people with long-term health conditions to experience the joys of cycling and all the benefits that come with it.”

You can take part in SC4A’s regular sessions in Hillsborough Park, with a variety of special bikes designed to suit everyone, no matter what type of disability or long term health condition you have. “Cycling is amazing. We’re making it accessible for everyone,” says Rosemary.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
