We finished The Bike Experience's first season with four paralysed riders coming to learn how to get back on a bike. We were fortunate to have Mike "Spike' Edwards come along as our guest instructor. He and his good lady wife have put together this video which shows exactly what we do on one of the charity days.

If you are interested in coming to volunteer next year, please join the facebook page (The Bike Experience) and get in touch.
It has been an amazing year, going from teaching one rider to four at a time. In total we have taught 26 paralysed motorcyclists how they can ride again. None of them thought it was possible at the start of 2011 and now some of them have bought their own bikes, ridden track days, but all of them have changed the way they see the rest of their life. The impossible has been achieved and so anything else is within their power.
Cheers
