Here's an extract from their website to give you more of a feel for their work:
Get back on a bike
The Bike Experience has helped many riders get back on a bike in a safe, controlled environment. We can help you do the same too.
Rider being launchedThe Experience is free of charge to you as a rider, but if you wish to make a donation to the charity at the end of the course, we would be extremely grateful.
You need to have ridden a motorcycle before your accident/disability.
We are looking to evolve the Experience so that we can teach complete novices in the future, as well as creating a motocross Experience to allow for riders of all types to enjoy their passion.
There are ‘bolt-on stabilisers’, which we can put on the learner bike, so there is no possible way you could fall over. The stabilisers allow the candidate to get used to the hand operations required for a bike in total safety. They are easily removed once you are confident and wish to begin with steering inputs on the bike.
A liability waiver must be signed at the start of the day.
Volunteers
The Experience is supported by a large number of volunteers who are there to act as your launch crew. We are always looking for more, so please contact one of the staff if you are interested.
If, as a rider you want to have your own mates help as part of the launch crew, they should be able-bodied and strong enough to help with getting you on the bike, as well as holding the bike with you on it.
This is not a ‘males-only’ event and we have anyone as a volunteer. Women have caught and launched riders alongside the men, so partners are always welcomed.
