Community Trikes

The Community Trikes Programme caters for all ages and abilities.

Community Trikes at the Grassroots Trust Velodrome are great for anyone, whether new to cycling and fitness, living with limited mobility or undergoing rehabilitation following illness or injury. We have a fleet of trikes that vary in style and functionality with coaches trained in trike use and safety to guide you. This is a great way to maintain or increase your fitness level, community interaction and wellbeing.

Come join us and give it a try. Trikes at the Grassroots Trust Velodrome could well be the experience you have been looking for to find a healthier, more vibrant you.

To book, or be added to a waitlist, email Louisa trikes@velodrome.nz and we'll get you sorted for a session that works for you.

The Benefits of Trike Riding

The benefits of exercise are well documented for any age group and any physical status. The Grassroots Trust Velodrome Community Trikes provide potential solutions to issues associated with limited mobility.

Our trikes have also become a popular sporting and exercise alternative for those that love walking and riding but may have found they require more support to maintain their lifestyle.

Velodrome Trike benefits include:

  • Improved balance and mobility
  • Cardio fitness
  • Improved fine motor skills
  • Improved confidence
  • Socialisation
  • Reconnecting with the environment

Trike Styles & Options

The type of trike you ride is most often dependent on two crucial areas; your level of mobility and your core strength.

Both of these factors will influence the style and level of trike you may choose to ride. Each trike has its own benefits whether it is a standard trike, seated hand crank or recumbent.

With a range of trikes to suit individual needs, your riding success will depend on how confident, comfortable and safe you feel. Our trained Grassroots Trust Velodrome Trikes coaches will guide and assist you to provide the best possible experience on the trike that works best for you.
