Selby Cycling Club is proud to be taking over delivery of Selby Tandems, an inclusive cycling initiative designed to make cycling accessible to adults with disabilities. We are grateful to OpenCountry for the strong foundations they have built and look forward to continuing and growing this valued inclusive cycling programme.
Selby Tandems focuses particularly on supporting people with:
Visual impairments
Learning disabilities
Autism
Our volunteer-led social rides pair disabled riders (back riders) with experienced tandem pilots, creating a safe, supportive and enjoyable cycling experience for everyone involved.
Social & Friendly Rides
Social & Friendly Rides
As part of Selby Cycling Club, riders can enjoy our regular mid-week evening rides running from April to October, often featuring a relaxed pub stop for socialising and refreshments. It’s about more than cycling — it’s about community, friendship and shared experiences. During winter we provide Saturday morning rides once per month weather dependant with a cafe stop.
Sportives
Sportives
In 2026, Selby Cycling Club’s tandem team took part in the Three Swans sportive, organised by Velo 29, starting and finishing outside Selby Abbey. The event gave our tandem riders and pilots the opportunity to enjoy a local cycling challenge together, experience the atmosphere of a sportive and be part of the wider cycling community. Taking part reflects Selby Cycling Club’s commitment to inclusive cycling and creating opportunities for adults with disabilities to enjoy cycling and participate in local events.
