Adapted bikes on show at Cornish event

Cyclists are being given the chance to ride bikes adapted for disabled people at an event in Cornwall.

The Cornwall Bicycle Project is hosting the Limitless Festival at Par Track between 10:00 and 16:00 BST on Saturday.

Run alongside British Cycling's Limitless scheme - which promotes cycling for disabled people - the event will have adapted bikes for people to try out.

Organisers said they want to encourage the Cornish community to get active on adapted bikes and showcase what the work done by the Cornwall Bicycle Project.

Among the bikes at the event there will be sit-up hand cycles and e-assist bikes.

Emma Roberts, one of the Cornwall Bicycle Project's directors, said it was really important for everyone to be active.

Ms Roberts: "Our groups that we have at Par Track have a wonderful time together.

"People have met new friends to go out cycling with and just to spend time with.

"Being out and being active just improves your health and fitness and you can discover things that you never thought you'd be able to do."
