At Bikeworks, we believe everyone has the right to ride. For nearly two decades, we’ve supported disabled people, people with long-term health conditions, and carers to experience the confidence, freedom, and wellbeing that cycling can bring.
That’s why we continue to partner with Van Raam – a specialist manufacturer whose cycles consistently meet the needs of the people we support.
Recently, we welcomed Team Van Raam back to our East London base – home to London’s first dedicated inclusive cycling showroom, located in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Why We Partner With Van Raam
We choose Van Raam because their cycles are built with purpose. Every design detail reflects a deep understanding of real-world access needs – from comfort and stability to flexibility and ease of use. These cycles aren’t just technically excellent, they’re life-enabling – supporting people to move with confidence, control, and possibility, no matter mobility or health condition.
Engineered for access – Low step-through frames, pedal assist, stable trike configurations, and comfortable seating allow for confident riding across a range of needs.
Customisable by design – Modular frame options make it easier to match cycles to the individual — and adjust as needs change.
Smart support systems – With the Van Raam app and other tech features, riders and carers can monitor, plan, and feel supported.
Built on heritage – Backed by over 100 years of specialist Dutch engineering, Van Raam focuses exclusively on non-standard cycles for disabled people and those with long-term conditions.
“We’ve worked closely with Van Raam for many years because we trust the quality of their cycles and the values behind them. This isn’t just about providing equipment — it’s about enabling real access to cycling for people who are so often excluded from it.”
— Jim Blakemore, Co-CEO, Bikeworks
What Makes Our Showroom Unique
This is more than a space — it’s the result of years of experience, deep community connection, and a commitment to doing things differently. We’ve brought together our inclusive ethos and hands-on expertise to create an environment where people feel seen, supported, and genuinely excited to ride.
It’s a place where specialist cycles can be explored in a way that’s human, flexible, and grounded in real-life needs — all within the iconic setting of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Test rides in a world-class setting – With access to the Olympic Park, people can test cycles in a safe, familiar-feeling environment.
Person-first support – Our team combines deep product knowledge with years of frontline experience supporting disabled riders, families, and professionals.
Partnership beyond the sale – Whether it’s maintenance, training, or helping you navigate funding options, we’re with you all the way.
“It’s always inspiring for us at Van Raam to see our adapted bicycles in use at Bikeworks. Their team brings together technical expertise and genuine empathy — they truly understand the individuals who rely on our bikes. Through this partnership, we’re able to help even more people experience the freedom of cycling in a way that suits them best.”
