Wheels for All in partnership with South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority are inviting people from across South Yorkshire to join them for the South Yorkshire Inclusive Cycling Network Meeting.

They’re particularly keen to welcome people working in:

🏥 Healthcare & public health
🚲 Cycling & active travel
🏛️ Local government & transport
🤝 Community and disability organisations
🏃 Sport & physical activity

…but you don’t have to work in any of these areas to be part of the conversation!

If you’re a decision-maker, commissioner, policymaker, advocate or influential voice who can help raise awareness of inclusive cycling and make it more accessible to disabled people or people living with long-term health conditions, we’d love to have you in the room.

They are also particularly keen to hear from people with lived experience of disability who have found cycling or physical activity beneficial. Your experiences, insights and ideas are vital to helping us understand what needs to change — and what’s already working.

This is an opportunity to connect, share ideas, learn from one another and explore how we can work together to make inclusive cycling more accessible across South Yorkshire.

📅 Wednesday 16 September 2026
📍 Oakwell Stadium, Barnsley
🎟️ Places are free, but booking is essential.

👉 Join the conversation and book your place: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/south-yorkshire-inclusive-cycling-network-meeting-tickets-1993600129654?aff=oddtdtcreator
