All-ability cycling

This usually involves specially-adapted cycles. I'm not sure they'd belong in with mainstream recumbent trikes.
Would people think that cycles (and cyclists) in the all-ability category (Forestry Commission classification, Alice Holt Forest) need their own little part of the CTC Forum, please?
Kind regards,

The HPV forum isn't exclusively for 'bent trikes (although there are many of us there)
What is this "all ability" classification anyway...

Have you been to the Inclusive Cycling Forum?

[XAP] Bob,
All-ability cycling enables people who cannot use a conventional set of limbs, to enjoy cycling.
At Alice Holt Forest, the hire-cycle fleet includes side-by-side "companion" cycle, tandem trike with a choice of how the guest pedals/steers, and a trike with platform to carry a guest on a wheelchair.
I hope this answers your question.

Vorpal -
I've studied the Inclusive Cycle Forum. Unfortunately, some of the hypertext links do not work and it is difficult to ascertain who runs the Forum.
Perhaps it would benefit from more readers, so as to generate more comments and demonstrate a higher level of interest. This is not to decry the efforts of those people who have already put in time to make the Forum what it currently is.
Thank you for your help in suggesting it to me.
