Making the Camel Trail Accessible for Everyone
Since 1983, Bridge Bike Hire has held a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves to experience the joy of cycling on the Camel Trail. As the Camel Trail’s pioneer in accessible cycling, we've spent four decades ensuring that age, ability, or experience level never stand in the way of an amazing day out on the Trail!
Our Commitment to Inclusive Cycling
We're proud to be the only bike hire service on the Camel Trail that has consistently invested in accessible cycling options. Our experience has taught us that every rider is unique, which is why we offer the region's most comprehensive range of specialized bikes. From families with young children to riders with different mobility needs, we've developed solutions that bring the trail's beauty within everyone's reach.
Our Growing Family of Adaptive Bikes
We're constantly expanding our range of specialized cycles to meet diverse needs, ensuring cycling is accessible to people of all abilities. Our trained staff are experienced in supporting visitors with visual impairments, learning differences, and varying support needs. We take time to understand each person's individual requirements and provide tailored guidance to ensure everyone can enjoy the trail safely and confidently. Our current collection includes:
For Families and Shared Riding
Our range of tandems suits riders of all sizes, making cycling a shared experience that everyone can enjoy together. Perfect for parents and children, or any two riders who want to share the adventure.
For Enhanced Stability
Our adult tricycles and trailer trikes provide extra stability and confidence for riders who prefer a more secure cycling experience. These bikes have opened up the trail to many who thought cycling might not be possible for them.
For Young Adventurers
We offer trailer bikes and trailer trikes that let children join the adventure safely while building their confidence. These have proven especially popular with families introducing young ones to the joys of cycling.
Coming Soon
We're excited to announce two major additions to our accessible cycling family:
Wheelchair Bike - April 2025
Our newest investment in accessible cycling will arrive this spring, further expanding the trail's accessibility to wheelchair users. This specialised bike represents our ongoing commitment to breaking down barriers to cycling enjoyment.
Young Person's Trike - In Development
We're currently exploring options for a specialized young person's trike, designed to give younger riders more independence and confidence on the trail.
