Aims of The Bike Experience
The Bike Experience (TBE) charity is not just about getting riders back on a bike, there is far more involved. From what we have seen over the past four years, the impact of getting back on a bike is far reaching and effects the riders, the riders families and friends, the volunteers and all involved with the charity.
From these lessons, the charity has evolved to become more than just helping someone sit on a motorcycle, the aims are now:
-
Teach and advise motorcyclists who have been disabled how they can ride again, through the provision of an adapted and modified motorcycle which will allow them to ride on track in a safe environment using a logical step by step process
-
Develop a ‘positive mental attitude’ of the individuals who take part. Increase each clients self-confidence and self-belief so that they can look forward to the rest of their life with re-focused energy, empowerment, motivation and inspiration.
-
Educate and advise participants how to buy their own bike, adapt it and ride at future track days independently and safely
-
Improve the participant’s physical health, balance, co-ordination, strength and stamina
-
Bring together able-bodied and disabled people so that boundaries are broken down and myths of disability are deconstructed
-
Evolve attitudes in the motorcycling world, so that disabled motorcycle riding is seen as possible, feasible and acceptable
