County Ground Adaptive Bike Route

County Ground
This is a great route along a mix of cycle paths and quiet roads. Although it has been specifically been designed for single rider adapted bikes the route can be enjoyed by everyone. The route is flat with one short incline around 3 miles in and takes in some of the best cycling routes Swindon has to offer. Boasting green spaces the route explores the path to old Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal. Unfortunately the route isn’t suitable for side by side companion bikes and some adapted tandems may be too long to negotiate the staggered gates. In conjunction with the council the ground has adaptive bikes on offer to borrow however we advise to check this first. These bikes include hand bikes, recumbents, tandems, side by side tandems and trikes. Please contact Ben Humphrey at [email protected] / 01793 465404.
