Disability and para-cycling programme breaks barriers and inspires change, encouraging over 5,000 new riders

British Cycling’s inclusive cycling programme, Limitless has now helped 5,551 disabled people to get cycling, with most participants reporting improvements in their mental and physical health and sense of purpose
Over two years into the Limitless programme, the programme has exceeded its initial four-year target for number of participants, making cycling more accessible to thousands of disabled people, changing the lives of participants across the UK.
The internationally recognised programme, supported by Shell UK, provides cycling opportunities for disabled people, regardless of age, impairment and ability. It allows many clubs and organisations up and down the country to connect communities through cycling, reduce social isolation and improve the health and wellbeing of disabled people.
British Cycling research has found over 75% of riders feel their physical health has improved because of the programme, with another 82% feeling their mental health has improved by being a member of a Limitless Club.
A new video tells several powerful accounts from people who have benefited directly from Limitless and highlights the impact it has had on people's lives whether they are a rider, a coach, a volunteer or a parent or guardian.
Over 600 volunteers now support Limitless, who are the driving force behind the programme. Over 1000 coaches have now also engaged with our leaning resources available to those interested in hosting sessions.
By creating a safe and supportive environment, 85% of riders have said that Limitless has improved their cycling confidence, while 70% say Limitless gives them a strong sense of purpose.
