Ruth Brannon is a Volunteer Community Co-ordinator, working with 6 adults with learning disabilities who are setting up an 'All Ability' cycling opportunity locally - to be based at Milton Country Park. This opportunity would allow many people with and without disabilities to work together to gain skills and confidence, as well as increasing health/well being for young and old alike!  Many links have been made - Outspoken (local bike courier/cycle instructors) as well as national Cycling Project - Wheels For All. In the autumn of last year the group did a presentation, using powerpoint and their own stories of their wishes to be able to cycle (like everyone else!), to local council/health/cycle groups. It is a very powerful message as you can imagine. They plan to have the bikes available ffor hire at least once a week at Milton Country Park.
