DISABLED people in Bradford can take part in a sponsored cycle ride across through European cycleways.
They will provide the ride to Bradford’s twin town of Hamm, in Germany, supported by able-bodied ‘mentors’.
Bradford Disability Sport and Leisure (BDSL), which runs several activity groups in Keighley, organises a fundraising ride to Hamm every two years.
The latest ride is the first to include a group of disabled cyclists, who each have to raise £600 in sponsorship.
Specialist bikes are available for those who cannot use traditional two-wheel bikes.
BDSL spokesman Barry Thorne (pictured) said the ride would be split into 60-mile sections and would only be on European cycleways.
He added: “The project is all about promoting disability cycling and access for all.”
Anyone wishing to take part, or willing to sponsor the riders, should contact Mr Thorne by e-mailing bsr1@btconnect.com
