...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...
It was put in by request from a staff member and followed a guide by UK group Wheels for Wellbeing.

...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
Seems like a very good idea. I hope it doesn’t end up being used by others than those for whom it is intended.
It is astonishing that it is the first one isnt it? Our so called advanced liberal society and especially our self-righteous universities lecture us all on equality but always leave people with disabilities last on the list of special interest groups.
