Programmes
Try a Trike
In partnership with Sport NZ’s Tū Manawa fund and Sport Waikato, Ride Your Trike NZ runs a programme called ‘Try a Trike’ — introducing adaptive bikes and trikes to schools in the Waikato. This programme is fully funded for schools
Ride your Trike NZ visits schools to showcase different adaptive bikes to your students and overcome the hurdle of knowing which type of adaptive bike is right for them. Our mission is to show kids with physical or mental challenges that they can have fun and get active on a bike.
Our founder, Liam has cerebral palsy, he has experienced independence while riding trikes that has been life changing. He can now get anywhere around Hamilton independently. His experiences sparked a passion for helping other people get active, and to have a go and to ‘Try a Trike’.

With guidance from our coaches the students learn:
· Introduction to cycling and safety
· Practice biking skills on various adaptive bikes
· Improved confidence and sense of belonging in group and whanau cycle riding
· Information on where to rent and buy adaptive bikes
