Accessible Cycling Centre

Making cycling accessible to all

Picture of a group of cyclists in the park. Pedal Power is the working name of The Friends of Pedal Power Project. We are a charity (Registered Number: 1092304) whose Mission is "to make cycling accessible to all". Friends of Pedal Power Project Ltd is a not for-profit company registered at Companies House (Company Number 4373456). Revenues from the company are ploughed back into the charity.

Pedal Power is home to one of the best, if not the best, accessible cycling centres in the UK. We operate out of two centres, one near the city centre and one in Cardiff Bay. We have an extensive range of specially adapted cycles designed for disabled adults and children. This enables virtually anybody to enjoy cycling regardless of age or ability. We offer a full assessment service to members in order to find you the perfect cycle for your needs. Unfortunately, we cannot hire out the adapted cycles without the disabled person being assessed, nor are they available to the general public.

We run a cycle hire service open to the public 7 days a week, where you can hire a wide range of cycles. We have gents bikes, ladies bikes, kids bikes of all sizes, as well as a range of baby seats, buggies and tag along bikes.We also offer a full range of cycle maintenance services. .

For those looking for something a bit different we have go carts, tandems, and pedal cars which can take up to six people available from our Cardiff Bay centre.

Spokes Café is available for drinks and meals. It is open between 9.30 and 16.00 during the week and between 10.00 and 15.00 at weekends. If you wish to use a Wi-Fi connection while having a coffee you will detect a network but unfortunately we can't make it available to the public for security & performance reasons.

Finally, we offer a range of courses and one off sessions from total beginner to the advanced skills required to cycle safely in traffic. We specialise in delivering cycle training courses to people who may feel that cycling presents them with a wider range of challenges than most.
