Bicycles: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing targeted financial support to people with mobility impairments that are purchasing adapted bicycles.
Answered by Mike Kane
The Government has announced an additional £100 million investment in cycling and walking infrastructure for the financial year 2025/26. As the Department develops its future plans for active travel, it will consider, alongside Active Travel England, options for enabling more disabled people to access adapted cycles. In the meantime, the Cycle to Work scheme already enables many people to access adapted cycles at a reduced cost.
