The centre is said to provide disabled islanders with the 'freedom from daily constraints' and the ability to extend the speed and distance of movement compared to their normal wheelchair or other form of mobility aid.For some, this may be by cycling independently on an adapted cycle and for others, being supported by a companion on a two-person cycle.It is a centre that participants have said is 'thoroughly enjoyable'.
