Wellness Wheels
Referral-led cycling programme for health, recovery and condition-management
Wellness Wheels is a new referral‑led cycling offer designed for adults living with health conditions and disabilities, where cycling is being used as a health, recovery and condition‑management intervention. Sessions are closed, booked and structured, with appropriate support and planned progression built in from the outset.
Who is it for?
Wellness Wheels is intended for adults who:
- are living with long-term health conditions or disabilities
- would benefit from a structured, supported physical activity intervention
- require specialist instruction and access to appropriate cycles
It is designed for people who require planned, supported engagement, where cycling is being used as part of health, recovery and condition-management, rather than as an open participation activity.
Participation is referral-led, with an initial assessment built in.
It is currently only operating for residents of Newham.

Review
1. Referral
Participation is referral-led, through health and adult social care, as well as condition-specific organisations working alongside clinical teams.
2. Initial Assessment
Each participant begins with an initial assessment, which establishes baseline measures and agrees goals. These provide a clear framework for what the person is working towards over the course of delivery.
3. Attendance
Sessions take place once a week at Bikeworks’ Inclusive Cycling Hub, located at the accessible Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Bikeworks’ trained instructors are experienced in working with adults living with health conditions and disabilities.
Bikeworks’ range of specialist cycles and adaptations enable adults to take part in a way that is appropriate and effective.
4. Review
Progress is reviewed regularly against agreed goals, with week-by-week tracking over an agreed time period.
