OLYMPIC MEDALLIST DECLAN BROOKS OPENS NEW CYCLING FACILITY IN BRISTOL
Olympic Freestyle BMX bronze medallist and Access Sport ambassador, Declan Brooks, joined Access Sport to open an exciting new cycling facility in Stockwood, Bristol on Thursday 12th May.
The new facility has been delivered as part of Access Sport’s Making Trax Cycling Inclusion Programme, which aims to give every young person access to a bike, the skills and confidence to use it, and somewhere local, safe and exciting to enjoy riding. The work was carried out by specialist track builders Architrail Velosolutions, with capital funding from The London Marathon Charitable Trust, Enovert Community Trust, Bristol City Council, Churngold and the John James Bristol Foundation.
The new facility offers a range of riding options for all ages and abilities, as well as being accessible for bikes, scooters and skateboards. The open access facility is also accompanied by a new footpath connecting the track to nearby Whittock Road, a storage unit to provide a safe place to store community bikes and helmets, and a social space to watch the action on the track.
Stockwood Bike Park will become a thriving resource for the local community, creating a safe and exciting place for people to learn to ride, increase cycling confidence and enhance bike handling skills.
Access Sport will now support the local community to set up a cycling group to provide a wide range of opportunities for local people to get involved, whether through riding, coaching or volunteering.
There will also be recreational and structured cycling sessions offered at the track, which will include coached sessions, rock up and ride sessions, after school sessions, Wingz cycling (inclusive cycling for anyone with an impairment and/or additional need), BMXercise (BMX specifically for women and girls) and Access Sport’s unique school and community outreach programme.
Significant funding from local philanthropy organisations the Hargreaves Foundation, Foundation for Children and The Yogscast Jingle Jam will enable the activation of the facility and support ongoing delivery costs.
