Enjoy the brilliant sunshine and explore a new hobby at the Try-Cycle Experience this June with Jorvik Tricycles. The event will run from 1pm to 4pm on Friday 2nd June, and all day from 10am to 3pm on Saturday 3rd June. One lucky visitor will also win a Jorvik tricycle for themselves!

Discover an alternative way to travel and enjoy the freedom of three wheels in the beautiful surroundings of The Eyot Centre, near historic Henley Bridge.

Visitors to the Try-Cycle Experience will have the exclusive opportunity to test different models and see what makes a Jorvik tricycle different. There will be an outdoor track set up so visitors can experience the exhilaration of riding a tricycle for themselves, as well as the chance to speak to experts from the Jorvik Tricycles team about the products and features, and a limited number of products will be available to purchase on the day.

Accessible, easy to use; Jorvik Tricycles was created by founder James Walker after he struggled to find a solution to aid his father’s love of cycling whilst living with Parkinson’s disease.

Adult tricycles have been a growing trend in recent years alongside e-bikes, which have seen sales triple over the last five years, showing the British public are enjoying getting a battery boost up the country’s hills.

This popularity surged during the pandemic and fans cite a more balanced and stable ride, particularly when carrying shopping, as the largest reason for the switch. Tricycles also empower users with age or accessible needs to enjoy bike trails and the great outdoors.

James said: “We’re really excited to showcase our tricycles. There really is nothing better than getting to try the tricycles out for yourself and that’s what these events are all about. There’s no obligation to purchase, it’s just a chance to come along, try a tricycle for yourself and enjoy being out and about.

“We can’t wait to see everyone and help them try out a new way of getting around.”

The second installment in a series of national events, the Try-Cycle Experience encourages visitors to saddle up and pick from eight models to test ride, using an indoor track or exploring the beautiful surrounds of the Eyot Centre, just ten minutes away from Henley station.
