They get to do different routes of different speeds and distances depending on their abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The club is appealing for Grangetown residents to volunteer to help the new branch and become cycling role models. It is also looking for funding to buy high quality, safe bikes and train coaches and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to work with Grangetown residents who might be interested in getting involved. We are happy to help develop and train people as coaches, ride leaders, welfare officers \u2013 however people want to get involved,\u201d said Ms Lawrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grangetown councillor Ashley Lister said: \u201cAs chair of Grangetown Community Action, I would be more than happy to help the club access funding to support training and equipment, so that children in Grangetown can get more involved in cycling.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Lawrence added: \u201cWhat\u2019s really nice is the social aspect, the kids make friends with each other \u2013 those who have been here since the start have grown up together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe try to give them loads of opportunities both on and off the bike. For example, we hold social nights: pumpkin carving, Christmas parties, skittles nights \u2013 when Covid allows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact: <a
